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???
Stay Sharp:
Rick

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
Code:
./configure --options --MoreOptions --AndEvenMoreOptions
make
su
make install
THEN VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
BLACKLIST the asunder deb from installing .
otherwise apt-get might reinstall it

Asunder Upgrade

REPLY TO: John VV

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!!

a bit older but this covers it

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