problems updating spring

[LastCultist]

Hello. unfortunately my first post here with you all is not exactly a positive one.I am using Ubuntu gutsy 7.10, and while I understand how the OS works Im not exactly fully able to use it, so dont bash me if I made a stupid mistake here.

I enjoyed playing spring during the last version, until one day the update comes out and I get the message telling me I need to update to 0.76.b1(I think) I check the linux install on the site and enter the new lines into the terminal. This did not work. I went back to the Package manager, and told it to reinstall every one of my spring files since the terminal said the repository was up to date. I start spring up, same message. If anyone can find a file I could download manually myself and install I think I could fix this, but if there already is a solution that would also be good.

Thanks in advance.

We'll need some more information to help you.

What happens if you type sudo apt-get install spring-engine to the console? Please copy-paste the output here.

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
spring-engine is already the newest version.
spring-engine set to manual installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

thats it. says its updated but doesn't think so when i go to run.

Well what happens when you run spring? Does it start the old version? or none at all? What lobby do you use? What happens when you type spring to the command line?

Can you quote the relevant lines from your sources.list?

Does sudo apt-get install spring-engine solve the problem?

[YokoZar]

Please do:

dpkg -s spring-engine


Did you install using some other method before getting the package? Like, say, from source? You might have another spring binary still on your system somewhere that's being loaded instead of the packaged one.

I'm also having trouble... mostly because buildbot.no-ip.org is down and can't figure out how to connect to server 6 on UF. (UF appears to be down at the moment as well).

Can someone give me any ideas to a work around or a new buildbot location?

I posted some of my terminal output in the ubuntu apt repository thrread as well if you're interested

I finally stumbled across the url. Why no one thought to post this for almost a WEEK is beyond me.

http://server6.unknown-files.net/ufbak/

That's pretty obvious .. because no one knew / realized it existed.

[syowr]

didn't you post this in the apt thread?

On main UF server now (in a vserver). (server6 is actually up, but the contract expires in 5 days )

sounds like something was known to be working on server6...

It was a reply to Peet's post about buildbot which used to be hosted at server6. It had no relation to any UF stuff at all. (Heck, at the time I posted that I didn't know about that ufbak thing yet.)
