If 2.33.1 was provided by your distro's package management system,

delete the directory 2.33.1 was installed into and install 2.40 either
from your distro's package management system, or the version previously
pointed to via http://www.seamonkey-project.org/. My 14.04LTS shows
seamonkey-mozilla-build 2.40 available as having been installed from
Trusty sources, as configured at installation over two years ago.
Thank you Felix. Your suggestion to find and delete my old 2.33.1
installation has worked and I have now successfully installed v 2.40.
I was afraid to delete that 2.33.1 previously because I rely heavily on
having a working SeaMonkey, but after making a full backup of all my
SeaMonkey data, and given your encouragement, I felt confident enough to
risk deleting it.
I suspect I got my original
seamonkey-mozilla-build_2.33.1-Oubuntu1_amd64.deb from
http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/ Mozilla project homepage, and yes I
installed it using Ubuntu Software Centre, so I think that explains why
it failed to update. I hope my new v 2.40 will update itself more easily.
