Was there an update pushed out for Mudlet?

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and got a message that there was an update, but when I try and install it, I get the following error.

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/liblua5.1-rex-pcre0_2.4.0-1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/rex_pcre.so', which is also in package lrexlib1 0

Vadi was playing with that earlier.

Removing lrexlib1 will allow Mudlet to update. Meanwhile, I'll push another update that specifies lrexlib1 as a conflict, so it should be automatically removed if you want to update.

When I try and remove lrexlib1 it says Mudlet will also be removed.

That's right, because the current one depends on it. Next version though hates lrexlib1, and it'll use another lib. So uninstall lrexlib1 (and mudlet), and then install it again (which will install the next version)

Well, I did what you suggested, and on the re-install I still got an error.

I got it fixed. I had to unmark a previously selected file that was marked for install, then remove Mudlet and lrexlib1 and then re-install Mudlet.

Thanks for the help.

Sent another update to PPAs that should resolve this and provide a smoother upgrade.
