Problem with upgrading bitcoin 0.9.0 to 0.9.1 on Ubuntu

[ranton]

I am trying to uninstall bitcoin 0.9.0 client from Ubuntu and install Bitcoin 0.9.1.

I uninstalled 0.9.0, deleted .bitcoin from home folder and deleted downloads from downloads folder.
I downloaded 0.9.1 and after I went through the installation process, the client that got installed was still 0.9.0.  I cannot get rid of this client.

I really appreciate help with this issue since I know very little about computers, so this is a huge challenge to me, but I am determined to do it.

I also tried to update using :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

but it did not work. I could be missing something else in those commands.

Maybe it is better to replace the binary, but I do not know how to do it.

Please help.

Looks like you have to do it by hand, like this guy here:

How can I Upgrade my Bitcoin QT?

I use Linux Ubunto and I don't know what to do.

Being a noob myself I asked the same question and got no answer here. Just to have it clear I was using bitcoin 0.9.0 from Ubuntu PPA and
had my libssl1.0.0 updated however in the debug window it still showed old/insecure version of OpenSSL.

So here is what I did:

-First thing first back up ur wallet.
-Shut down your client.
-Now make a backup of your current bitcoin-qt executable/shared library which should be in /usr/bin

Code:

cd /usr/bin
sudo mv bitcoin-qt bitcoin-qt.bckup

-Download and verify bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz
-Navigate to your Home directory

Code:

cd ~

-and then to Downloads

Code:

cd Downloads

-unzip what you've downloaded

Code:

tar xvzf bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz

-Navigate to just unzipped directory

Code:

cd bitcoin-0.9.1-linux

-and then depending on whether your system is 32 or 64 do

Code:

cd bin/32

/* alternatively if your system is 64 do */

cd bin/64

-copy bitcoin-qt from this directory to /usr/bin

Code:

sudo cp bitcoin-qt /usr/bin

-start your client the usual way.

Hope it helps...

Thanks. I will try that.

When you get confused where the programs are installed just type which <program> and it'll tell you.  So which bitcoin-qt will tell you where that executable is located.

Thanks. I will try that.

That will change the Bitcoin-Qt binary to the new version, which is what you want. The only thing that changes in the updates is that binary. Nothing in your downloads folder will affect it at all. Deleting the .bitcoin folder will cause the blockchain to be redownloaded and a new wallet file to be generated, but has no effect on an update of the client.

I'll give this a try too as I've been having a similar issue:
have reloaded the ppa, updated, upgraded and installed bitcoin (ubuntu -pangolin) but it still shows me as using v0.9.0.0-g92d25e4-beta (64-bit) and I still get the heartbleed please upgrade message.
Looks like I need to use the linux 9.1 tarball rather than the ubuntu ppa.

EDIT
Fantastic, that's it worked, no warning message anymore. Thanks

Unfortunately I was not able to follow the instructions. I do not know enough about ubuntu, at this point, to do it correctly.

I just uninstalled Ubuntu 12.04 and reinstalled fresh 14.04 version, and installed bitcoin client from scratch.

However, your advice was very helpful because it let me learn some more about Ubuntu.

Thanks so much.javascript:void(0);

Next time just do, sudo updatedb, locate bitcoin-qt

If you have a newer version and it's running an older version, the older version is probably in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin, or some other variation.
