Generally sudo apt-get remove packagename does not actually remove the<br>
cached installer, though that depends on your settings. You can review<br>
your settings for apt preferences via command line text files but<br>
synaptic makes it much easier to check. apt-cache is where those files<br>
are stored. The gui also makes it pretty easy to just say reinstall.<br>
<br>
I would make sure to do:<br>
sudo apt-get update<br>
sudo apt-get remove qgis<br>
<div class="im">sudo apt-get install qgis* python-qgis*<br>
<br>
</div>If you use the gui I think you can say reinstall, but I don't know what<br>
the cli equivalent of that is.<br>
<br>
Note you may need to specifically apt-get remove some of the qgis 1.7.2<br>
packages like libqgis1.7.2<br>
<br>
I have checked that the 1.7.3 packages are up for all the distro<br>
variants and it's seems fine on my Natty machine. I'm guessing you just<br>
had an out of date package list.<br>
<br>
It doesn't look like we have ubuntugis archived on nabble yet, so I'll<br>
work on getting that done to help future searches. Note searching the<br>
qgis lists on nabble might return some useful answers too.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Alex<br>
