I have installed version 2.0.13 in /usr/local/bin which works fine.
There is now version 2.0.14 ready as an upgrade. I have downloaded it

installed. I do not have any version in /usr/bin. It will not upgrade my
version.
Am I missing something somewhere please?

Neil, when you say you downloaded it, do you mean you downloaded the
upgrade or did you download the entire program (15MB or there abouts)??
When I upgrade from one version to the next, SeaMonkey downloads the
upgrade and installs it next time I start up, job done!
I had better give more information. I have installed Mint 10 KDE. When I
wanted to install Seamonkey the available version was 2.0.11 while the
latest version was 2.0.13. So I downloaded the full version 2.0.13 of
the program, the .deb version, and ran the installer.
Now I have downloaded the upgrade to version 2.0.14 but when I go to
Help > Apply Downloaded Upgrade I am told to restart Seamonkey. When I
do I get an error message asking if there is another version installed.
There isn't. Here is the message
*****************
The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other
copies of SeaMonkey running on your computer, and then restart SeaMonkey
to try again.
*****************
So now every time I start Seamonkey I get this error message and have to
click on OK to go to the program.
I should mention that I have installed Seamonkey in /usr/local/bin,
there is no copy in /usr/bin.
If necessary I am happy to stay with version 2.0.13 but I would like to
avoid the error message every time I log in. If I could find the upgrade
file I could rename it or delete it.
Thanks for any help,
Neil
You say there is no SeaMonkey running:
- How did you close SeaMonkey the last time? The "proper" way to do it
consists of using File→Quit or Ctrl+Q then _waiting_ until it has
finished running, which means _longer_ than just waiting for all windows
to be closed: see next paragraph. Don't turn the computer off while
SeaMonkey is busy closing down.
- Does
ps -lC seamonkey-bin
list something other than column headings? If it does, then even if
SeaMonkey has already closed all its windows in response to your Ctrl+Q
(or File → Quit), there is still some cleanup in progress. If you run
ksysguard or gnome-system-monitor you should be able to follow how
SeaMonkey takes its time releasing its memory.
