Musescore for Ubuntu stuck on v1.3 r5702

Posted by KinniK on September 2, 2015 - 5:45am

Okay... that was a good suggestion.
It didn't work... but it was a good suggestion.
I now believe this is an (il)legitimate bug!
I'd be interested to know if ANYONE running Ubuntu has MS version 2.

At this point, I doubt it.
(And perhaps I should've waited, before I contributed all the money I did!! But it 'is' a good program... at least in concept. So I'll try not to be like that... at least not yet.)

Here's what happened:
* I uninstalled it as suggested.
* The repository only listed ver 1.3 :(
* I attempted to reinstall from the latest trusted PPA via terminal.
* Here's where I 'think' it failed (but I'll append the whole verbosity at the end, just in case I'm wrong!).
It seems to have been able to 'get' 20 items... but failed at #21... then perhaps defaulted to installing the pesky-persistent-buggy-version 1.3!:

"W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable/ubuntu/dists/trusty... Unable to find expected entry 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable/ubuntu/binary-i386…' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

I HATE Windows... but perhaps I'll have to set up a special system, 'just' for this! That sucks!... And I hope they fix it soon!!!!!!!!

I'm new here, and hope this is the right place to post stuff for the developers. In any event, here's the whole shebang:
