Ubuntu – How to update banshee to 2.4

banshee

I currently have Banshee 2.2.1 and I want 2.4 on Ubuntu 11.10.

I have run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:banshee-team/ppa in Terminal, followed by:

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update

But Banshee is still not updated to 2.4. I also tried:

sudo apt-get remove banshee
sudo apt-get install banshee

and that gets me back to version 2.2.1.

Best Answer

You've run the commands the wrong way around. apt-get update should be first (it updates your computer's list of what software is available) and then apt-get upgrade (upgrades the packages installed).

In short, just run sudo apt-get upgrade again, or open Update Manager.

Edit I've just noticed that I'm not using this PPA, I'm using the daily-builds version ppa:banshee-team/banshee-daily. There is an inherently higher chance that there'll be a significant bug one day but it has worked for me so far:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:banshee-team/banshee-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Or you can stick with the release PPA and wait for somebody to fix the libmono-upnp-cil-dev dependency issue (that fossfreedom points out).
