apt says there are no new upgrades to firefox 27

  • 772

Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS. Firefox 27.0. apt-get install firefox says it is already the latest version. I know it is not true.

I have precise, precise-backports, precise-security and precise-updates on my sources.list (full contents here).

I performed (apparently successfuly) and apt-get update and still the result is the same. I was able to install a new pakage (guake) so apt is talking to the internet just fine.

apt-get upgrade says "0 packages updated, 0 new installed, 0 to be removed, 0 not-updated".

Result of apt-cache policy firefox:

firefox:
  Instalado: 27.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
  Candidato: 27.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

  1. There are two posibilities:

    1. Brazil mirror is way behind

      I can assure is not:

      ➜  ~  apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 31.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
  Version table:
     31.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 0
        500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main i386 Packages

    2. There's a proxy that isn't working properly.

    In the second case, you may have to ask the network administrator to fix it, bypass the proxy (using https or disabling it totally), or changing to other mirror removing the br part of your mirror list.
