Hi,


I'm running Boinc-client on Linux Ubuntu Server 12.04/12.10. Usually I install this PPA/repository onto a clean installation of the OS. But according to a ToDo for this PPA I learned that it was possible to add the PPA/repository on a system where Boinc already has been installed, and still get it to update whenever a new version comes along. This works fine on clean installations! But when ever I add it to a system with an existing Boinc-client, the new version doesn't appears after upgrade

Any suggestions?

This is the PPA/repository:

(From my own ToDo - but is done according to the website below)

Command: # apt-get install boinc-client
