Hi ...,

can somebody explain, why it's not possible?
I don't see this version neither in synaptic nor in aptitude!
Even it is available in ports.ubuntu.com and my repo is actual ('apt-get update').

Kind Regards,
Michael

The repos hold installation candidates for more version than just 14.04. Here is the mate-desktop installation candidate for 14.04 from my 14.04 system.


QLee@Atlas:~$ apt-cache policy mate-desktop
mate-desktop:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.6.2-1
Version table:
1.6.2-1 0
500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages

I don't have mate-desktop installed but as you can see it would pick version 1.6.2-1,.

Now, you might be able to download the one you mention and install it, but you should probably stick with letting the APT system pick the appropriate version.
