I'm using Hardy and my update manager hasn't appeared to announce any
update, even though my Synaptic Repository is updated to include
Abiword. So I opened Synaptic Package Manager and did a search for
"Abiword". The listed lasted available version of Abiword is still
2.6.3.
In order to get 2.6.3 when it came out, in Synaptic I had updated the
"repositories" options, "third-party software" tab to include the site
for Abiword updates. That is how I got 2.6.3. I tried again updating the
repository options for 2.6.4, but the line that adds into the
"third-party software" tab is the same as the one I added to get 2.6.3.
So I figured one just needs to do it once, and it will then check for
any new Abiword updates. (So I deleted the duplicate repository options
listing for Abiword.) I assume I don't need to have two of the exact
same lines (http://ppa.launchpad.net/abiword-stable/ubunty-hardy main)
listed in the third-party repository in Synaptic. One should be enough.
So why isn't the 2.6.4 listed as available in Synaptic Package Manager?
And for that matter, why hasn't the Updates Manager appeared on my upper
panel?
