I don't recall having this problem before.
Upp has been running OK after install with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dolik-rce/upp-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install upp

I tried to update with:

sudo apt-get update
this is just the upp portion

When TheIde is run it still shows 3280 and not 3332.
Probably some basic error on my part.

What happened is that only the U++ sources (package upp) got updated. Theide "version" is the version of sources used for its compilation, so since you had not updated it was showing lower version number - so far everything is correct.
Now the mystery is why theide didn't update as well... Are you sure you didn't mark theide to hold the version 3280 in synaptic/aptitude/apt-get/...?

With the update manager it then showed upp would be updated, which I did also which required a reboot and then I get 3332.

Perhaps when using "update ~ install" from the command line a reboot is necessary also.
Or maybe after the first install any updates should be done through Synaptic.

Uh, reboot? Shocked

And it really helped? Ubuntu is closer to windows than I thought Very Happy

Ok, now seriously: none of the packages should require reboot to work/update. To get the new version of theide just open a new instance after updating and it will start the new version. With the new updating mechanism (theide 3307 and newer), theide gets aware (if set up to do so) of the new sources while running. The older versions needed to manualy copy the sources from /usr/share/upp to your local nests in /home/<user>/upp (in the default setup).

Does this clarify it?

Best regards,
Honza
