Hi,


I'm running several Ubuntu Linux crunchers. I've been using this to stay updated (BOINC):

Repository CostaMagnagianfranco/Boinc Website: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=70320#1316620
BOINC AUTO UPDATE/UPGRADE - PPA:
Command: # apt-get install python-software-properties
In 12.10 # apt-get install software-properties-common

Command: # add-apt-repository ppa:costamagnagianfranco/boinc
Command: # apt-get update

If BOINC already installed:
Command: # apt-get upgrade

If BOINC not installed:
Command: # apt-get install boinc-client


When setting it up on a clean installation it works fine, the newest version will be used 7.2.47. When setting it up on an existing installation (where Boinc already exists) it will not update - version 7.0.27 stays the same.
I did the upgrade command, I rebooted the system just in case, but still no luck!?

Any suggestions guys.. and girls ;)
