Cannot upgrade from 0.5.6.25

[psantucc]

Incredibly frustrating. I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 and Deluge 0.5.6.25. Today, Deluge ceased to download or upload - it did not crash and responds to controls, but can't send or receive.

I'd been meaning to upgrade anyway, so I downloaded the packages:

deluge-torrent_0.5.7.1-1_i386.gutsy.deb
deluge-torrent_0.5.8-1_i386.gutsy.deb

I could walk through my exact steps, but the short version is this: whether deluge is running or not, whether or not I uninstall with Synaptic before installing with GDebi, whether or not I completely uninstall, the result is the same - when I run Deluge again, I'm prompted to download a newer version and the Help->About shows the version to be 0.5.6.25. I do not get errors at install time or runtime.

If I install 5.8-1 with GDebi, it shows that version already installed.

Any ideas welcome.

try aptitude... "sudo aptitude purge deluge-torrent"

Thanks for your reply.

No change using aptitude - same result as removing with Synaptic.

you probably have conflicting installs. iow, you installed one via your package manager and another from source or svn

Markybob got it in one; I forgot about the time I upgraded from SVN. I've got to stop doing late-night fixes.

I uninstalled both and installed 5.8 from the .deb; working now, and really is 5.8. Move Torrent still isn't working, but I'll post that separately.

Thanks for the solution and for Deluge!
