Upgrading from 3.3.16 not working - Any tips?

[s4zando]

Hey all

I'm currnelty on qbit v3.3.16 - on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS.
It won't upgrade when I run sudo apt-get upgrade qbittorrent - It says that I am on the most recent version.
Yes, I've addedd the PPA - probably multiple times at this point, ha.
I'm sure apt-get is looking somewhere else (not sure where) and thinking qbit is up to date, but I can't figure out how to either force it to look at the correct PPA or stop looking in the wrong place.

Anyone else have/had this problem and have any tips/sugestions/instructions for resolving?

Thanks much in advance!

You just do:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

First, command updates the lists - so your system will know about the PPA, the second will upgrade all available packages. I reckon qBittorrent would upgrade some other packages as well, and thus, it needs the dist-upgrade command. On an Ubuntu it is 100% safe to always use dist-upgrade. Been using it since very early Ubuntu versions, never had a breakage.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I always do that. That's my normal method of updating/upgrading. (I didn't think I needed to outline that part!)

Unfortunately, *that* particular method is not yielding any results - and since the box is, other than qbit, completely up to date, I have resorted to just working on updating qbit by itself... Hence the "sudo apt-get upgrade qbittorrent".

I think I see the problem.

There isn't a version 4.x published to the Trusty PPA for ubuntu. Only the libtorrrent-rasterbar is published.

I'll see if I can get Sledgehammer's attention for this.
