Can someone confirm this?
Hands on: Google Earth 5.0 goes under the sea, back in timeGoogle announced a new version of Google Earth today with features that focus on what is under our ocean, in our past, and above our heads. Ars Technica did some vicarious adventuring to check out the new features.
Google Earth 5.0 (beta) is available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux users, though we should note that Google has become even more aggressive with the installation of its software update mechanism. Instead of covertly installing the software like it has in the past or offering the option to disable said updater like it should, Google now presents a dialog that forces the user to agree to the software license and installation of a phantom software update tool that cannot be uninstalled if the user wants to run Google Earth. But let's not dwell on the negatives, because there is a lot to love about this new version.

Does anyone know if " googleearth-package" in the repos will work for G.E. 5? (http://blog.irwan.name/?p=283) ...Oh, well I give it a try and report back.
PS-I didn't even know 4.3 was stable...and here comes 5.0
EDIT: google-earth-package works with the 5.0 version it needs the --force option on it.
