I just installed the envisag 3.x plugin from the Ubuntu Software Center, My question is, how can I update this to envisage 4.x.
I'm using python 2.6 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit
For Ubuntu packages, it may not be the latest version for 2 reasons:
dependencies availability: the dependencies version required is not available in Ubuntu yet
stability: latest version may not be the most stable version, therefore the most stable version is picked by Ubuntu
To manually update certain package to your desired version ( either upgrade / downgrade ), remove the version that comes along with Ubuntu, and download from developer. Follow the instructions to install the package. However, through this method, the package cannot update through apt-get.

I have git version 1.7.4.1. and would like to upgrade to the latest stable release of 1.8.4.
So I tried sudo apt-get install git as it says on the git downloads page for Linux but I get this result:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
git is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 91 not upgraded.
$ git --version
git version 1.7.4.1
and I'm stuck with git version 1.7.4.1!
I am on Ubuntu 11.04.
This is due to Ubuntu has not updated the package yet in their repositories. The only way around this would be to compile from source, which you can download from https://github.com/git/git.
There are Ubuntu PPAs for Git, offering the latest version of it. Add one of those and you'll be able to install it. For example:
https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa
Read the "Adding this PPA to your system" information on how to do this.
You should upgrade your whole system to raring at least:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=git-core
(If you adhere to packaged version.)
But the source will be more fresh anyway.

I am having a bit of a nightmare running up an Ubuntu distribution on an offline machine. Can anyone advise a distribution of Linux with G++ (or the contents of the build essential ubuntu package) as standard?
It is an absolute nightmare trying to download all the dependencies separately and I'm not getting on with Keryx at all. Many people have noted that build-essential package is available on the Ubuntu install CD but I can't find it on the 12.04 install CD using
sudo apt-get install build-essential
To those trying to close the question: This is programming related, I'm trying to get hold of g++ - comes under tools.

i have tshark installed in my debian linux which has version of 1.2.11. I want to update it to 1.8.0-1. I am trying it updated using
apt-get update
But, it still the latest version is not installed. Is this the way to update a package?
apt-get update (as sudo)
apt-get dist-upgrade
Hope this help.
Regards.
Calling
apt-get update
only updates the list with available packages.
You need to run
apt-get upgrade
after "apt-get update" to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system.
See the man page for apt-get (you can also view it online e.g. http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get)

I have an RPM file that need to be installed, before installing I want to check the version of packages contained within it. If the package is already installed I can use rpm -qi to know the version number, but what option do I use to find out the version if the package is not installed?
The -p option can be used to direct a query at an uninstalled package.
rpm -qip package.rpm

What is the Suse version of apt-get or yum?
How do I install software packages from the command line?
A fairly intense session of googling suggests that it may be yast or yast2, but no sensible HOWTO of listing and installing packages from the command line seems to exist. (maybe I am looking in the wrong place)
If I am an administrator for a remote Suse server, how do I install packages from the command line? (Not using a GUI and preferably installing from a central repo)
