Automatic Updates?

Asked by Grant

Will you be including Seamonkey for automatic updates? I downloaded what I thought was the latest version via "Add/Remove Programs", but it's not. When I go to the Seamonkey 'site I'm told that the version I installed has some security errors which are corrected in version .11. I moved from WinXP a couple of years ago, but I'm not very good at installing things from .tar and .bin files. What do I do?

Thank you,

As you installed it from the repositories, when the ubuntu team update the package it will update automatically for you. However the package update may not be immediately after seamonkey updates are released.

Which release of Ubuntu are you using...?

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

cat /etc/issue

copy and paste result here.

Then to be sure your release/your system is fully upgraded, please check:
open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean all
sud apt-get autoremove

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps

Thanks, marcobra. When I typed in "cat /etc/issue" I got the reply: "8.04.1 \n \l" (That last letter is an L in lowercase.)

Thank you for the upgrade on the repositories, too! I didn't realize what it was you gave me with the second paragraph of stuff to type in until I saw that it opened up all the multiverse and other repositories. (I just copied it and pasted it into the terminal at the $ prompt).

Hopefully, Canonical will update their version of Seamonkey soon.
