dpkg install of 0.37.1-7947 not recognizing update

Bug Started up LBRY, and was prompted to update. package was installed using sudo dpkg -i /tmp/c343lF/LBRY_0.37.1.deb and LBRY was restarted, but it still complains there’s an update.

looking at the dpkg listing, the correct version shows and was installed

drock@mojojojo:~$ dpkg -l | grep -i LBRY
ii  lbry      0.37.1-7947      amd64        

but the version listed in the About page is 0.35.3

I even uninstalled with dpkg -r lbry and tried a reinstall, with the same results.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start LBRY
2. Click on “install now” in the “Upgrade is Ready” banner
3. copy and run the “sudo dpkg -i” message to install
4. restart and get prompted to upgrade again

Expected behavior running upgrade process should upgrade LBRY so I’m not prompted to upgrade again

sounds great.

I did get a better view of the issue on my system doing this update, too. I was able to verify that LBRY is shutting itself down, and I can see what package manager is being used (GDebi 0.9.5.7+nmu3). It’s showing the details of the .deb, but when I click “Install Package,” it doesn’t look like GDebi is doing what it’s supposed to (ie, the dialog just goes away and the updated version is not installed).

I then proceeded to install manually with dpkg, which worked fine this time because I made sure all parts of LBRY were shut down first.

Obviously, the issue I have to address now is why GDebi is not installing properly. That has nothing to do with LBRY, because the .deb that gets downloaded worked fine manually.

Thanks!
