Your PPA update placed Shotwell 0.7.1 in /usr/bin.  If you previously
compiled and installed Shotwell 0.5.1+trunk yourself, that binary is
probably in /usr/local/bin, which appears first in your PATH, so that's the
version that's running.

If you still have the source directory where you build Shotwell 0.5.1, cd to
that directory and type "sudo make uninstall".  That should remove 0.5.1 and
you will be only left with 0.7.1.

If that directory is no longer around, then you should probably download the
0.5.1 sources, cd there and type "sudo make uninstall".  Alternatively, you
could simply remove /usr/local/bin/shotwell, but that won't be a clean
uninstall and you'll still have other Shotwell-related files in /usr/local
that could potentially affect your 0.7.1.

I hope this helps.  If you're still stuck, email again and we'll figure it
out.

cheers
