Bit of a stab in the dark here, but are you sure the repo is enabled and you're getting updates? I just realized I was using an outdated version because Ubuntu disables third party repos when upgrading.


sort by: page size:

Ubuntu repos already seem to have the fix

3.0.3.5 is the latest. 3.0 only came out about a month ago so it's not too surprising that it hasn't made it to the official Ubuntu repos yet. 2.8 just came out 4 months ago so it's not exactly old.

Does anybody understand Ubuntu releases?

The update this morning for Ubuntu 17.04 installs git 2.11.0

.. NOT the patched 2.11.3 NOR the latest 2.14.1

Why isn't Ubuntu fully up to date?


I am using the CE version that is in the Ubuntu Repo.

Second every word here. The version in the Ubuntu's repositories is not the latest(which is 2.2) and they can't be more explicit about it than pointing it out on the download page and giving a message upon the database startup.

That's the Ubuntu 14.04 version. Old, but make changes very little.

Ah that is the latest I have available on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.

No, I'm on Ubuntu, so it was in the repos (i.e. it was the proper architecture).

STILL no Ubuntu packages. The official repos are back in 2.x.x land.

Not sure. A few things that might be causing the difference: 1. Make sure you're using apt and not apt-get 2. Make sure you have those packages installed 3. If you previously disabled the advertising for Ubuntu Pro, you won't see this warning, but you still won't get the updates

If you are running a recent version of Ubuntu it's available from the standard repositories.

It should be noted that the repo you linked is for a deprecated image that's losing support at the end of this year: https://info.linuxserver.io/issues/2023-09-06-unifi-controll...

The note I link above discusses its replacement and how to upgrade.


Ticking Ubuntu but its certainly not the latest release. I'm on 11.04 and I don't see myself upgrading to a newer version of Ubuntu.

Thanks for the suggestion! That's what I'll prolly end up doing although neither of them are in the Ubuntu repos.

None, I was using Ubuntu until recently.

and that's because distro package managers never have the latest version.

I am using Arch - seems pretty up to date:

  [gerdesj@jglaptop ~]$ aurman -Ss ripgrep
  community/ripgrep 0.10.0-2
      A search tool that combines the usability of ag with the raw speed of grep
Thanks for the heads up wrt search tools.

Ubuntu launchpad repo is still on 0.2,

So these updates are only available for Ubuntu 14.04 and other flavors? I'm unable to upgrade from 3.10 to 3.12

It's 4.9.3 for Ubuntu 24.04. Close enough, but it won't be updated in the forseeable future, so the gap will grow.

There are https://build.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:kubic:libconta... repos, but it's what it says on the tin: unstable. And its usage is discouraged from the upstream bug reporting point of view. Works fine to keep up with development, but I wouldn't use that for user-facing workloads.
