problem with updating after having installed the beta

• Jun 11, 2015 - 14:14

He there,

as I was a bit impatient to get the net 2.0 features of musescore and so I had to install the beta version in January. I did it as described here: https://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/compilation/compile-instru…
Which installs fa50560

When I now try to update to 2.0.1 via apt or the software-center nothing seems to change. I still get fa50560 So even after the update I seem to have the beta version installed.

I'm sure the problem is a specific blindness on my side. But can anybody shed some light in this puzzle?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Torsten

The beta version wouldn't be uninstalled by the update - 2.0.1 should have no specific knowledge of the beta at all as far as I know. As far as I know, it's a completely different program that happens to have a lot of the same letters in its name :-). So most likely, you have both versions installed, just in different locations. Are you saying you try to run it, go to Help / About, and it still reports that version number? If so, I'm guessing you are simply running the wrong version. How are you trying to run it? Command line, a program icon, or what? Maybe try hunting for the newly installed version and be sure to run that explicitly.
