Update Issue

I'm trying to update from 5.0.3.200415 to 5.0.4.200428 but it's telling me I already have the most recent version (I think):

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

This method has worked in the past. What am I doing wrong here?

Is this not the correct upgrade procedure?

Running on Ubuntu 19.10 server on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Thanks...

Use sudo dpkg -i .. for updates. As show on the documentation apt install is just initial install and since you are already on 1.4 there is nothing to do.

Thanks Martin. That did it.

Just in case anyone else is looking for this, the full command is

sudo dpkg -i nextpvr-helper.deb

If you are looking for deb info I suggest reading the announcement/documentation thread https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=59576 which I will be moving to the wiki. It has that all the tips to help the installation and updates.
