synaptic and apt-get operate off the same data.  It may be that you have
not done an update after updating the repository list.  synaptic will
prompt you if you do this.

sudo apt-get update

[SLUG] Karmic: synaptic v apt-get

2010-03-22 Thread david
I want to install kdenlive. The repository version is deprecated and the 
latest is available from ppa.launchpad.net


I've added the launchpad repo using these instructions:

http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/ubuntu-packages

The new version does not show up in , but oddly 
it shows up in the GUI for Synaptic. Even if I manually add the 
launchpad repo to sources-list:


 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/sunab/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

apt-cache still shows the OLD version from the Ubuntu repos.

Normally I would always use apt-get. It's quicker than synaptic and I'm 
used to it. More particularly, I'm surprised that Synaptic doesn't seem 
to use sources-list for consistency. How do I get apt-get to recognise 
the launchpad version?


thanks

David
