I am using muon as a packet manager with Kubuntu. Normally everything works just fine, but I have some difficulties with LaTex packages. muon does not seem to find the latest versions.

On CTAN there is a version from June 2013, while muon tells me that my version from 2012 is up to date.

I could install it manually, of course; but it is not that practical since I use LaTex a lot and would like to have all updates as soon as possible.

I noticed that it is possible to add new repositories to muon, and I considered adding the whole CTAN directory to the muon sources. But I do not know if that is necessary or even possible, plus I don't really understand the menu for adding repositories.

No. CTAN is not an Ubuntu package repository. If you always want the latest TeX packages, deinstall the Ubuntu TeXLive packages and instead install vanilla TeXLive.
