I use Xubuntu 4.8 under Ubuntu 12.04.2
I was trying to do something with filters in Thunderbird this morning, and realized my thunderbird version was 3.1. WAY behind.
Under Thunderbird/Help I've got an "Apply Downloaded Update Now" option. So I clicked it, it told me 3.1.5 was downloaded and ready to install, and gave me options to restart now or later. I clicked restart now, and thunderbird restarted, but still as version 3.1, and still with the same "apply downloaded update now" option. I've repeated that several times, same result.
Of course, the newest version 17, so I thought I would just install from the command line:
There are no errors, everything looks good. So I start thunderbird and it comes up as version 3.1, with the same "Apply Downloaded Update Now" option to got to 3.1.5Code:$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install thunderbird Reading package lists...

I must be missing something obvious here. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
