Upgrade installed software
 

Hey All:

I have Asunder 2.1 and would like to upgrade to 2.5, as it's faster and has some formats that I prefer, already compiled. I'm not sure how to do this without completely removing 2.1 and installing 2.5. Isn't there a way to just update 2.1 while it's installed? And, I'm have a problem with the time/date on the laptop. NTP is installed, settings are for New York/America and set for internet sync. (I'm on EDST) If I set the time manually, that's where it stays, if I use the "internet snyc" it's 4 hrs. ahead???

well what operating system are you using

if mint 17
just do a normal update/upgrade and the current in the 17 repos will be installed

how was the old version installed ?
apt-get?
or source ?

uninstall the old
and for the source build
THEN VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
BLACKLIST the asunder deb from installing .
otherwise apt-get might reinstall it

Asunder Upgrade

My apologies for not listing O.S. distro. It is LM17.1 Rebbeca MATE 64bit. BTW, I've run the 'updates and upgrades".The 2.1 version of Asunder was installed via terminal. For that last part of your reply: "THEN VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
BLACKLIST the asunder deb from installing .
otherwise apt-get might reinstall it

...well I've got a question. I should run that "blacklist" after installation, but what happens should I want to upgrade again? Asunder has not optioned in .ape format yet and I would like to have that, so....? Thanxs for the information/help!!

you just do not want another deb from installing 2.1 as a dependency

Thanx again John VV
