I've been having trouble lately with installing the daily build from geary. First of all, I did the following on my terminal, which would get me the latest daily build. Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:valateam/ppa
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:yorba/daily-build
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get geary
Recently, Yorba has released Geary 0.3. But when I installed Geary, the About window shows me 0.2.2+ trunk when it should show 0.3. Perhaps, there is an issue with the package management. I ran this on Ubuntu 13.04 daily build, which updates fine.
I thought by uninstalling geary and installing from scratch would fix the problem, but it doesn't seem that straightforward.
sudo apt-get purge geary && apt-get autoremove
The code removes the app, but doesn't remove any configuration whatsoever. For instance, on a fresh install, my 4 email accounts that I set up were still there.
I really wish to run the daily build on my computer, and I don't want to be stuck with what really isn't 0.2.2+ trunk. How can I troubleshoot this issue and install the daily build? One solution I have is to reinstall the Ubuntu daily build, but I think it's unnecessary.
This isn't an Ubuntu problem, it's a problem with the PPA you're using. If you view the packages available you'll see that Geary doesn't have any raring packages. As such, when you install geary via
apt-get
it's only going to grab from the archives, version 2.2, and not from the PPA as there are not packages built for geary for raring in the PPA.
