running:
ubuntu 14.04 trusty 64bit.
My current version is:
itamar /v/l/a/lists λ git --version
git version 1.9.1
I tried: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install git and it didn't work.
I tried: sudo apt-get purge git; sudo apt-get install git and still it installed 1.9.1.
not just that, somehow it uninstalled Atom and Nylas along with git and some other git related packages. I would love to know why it did that also. Below is the output from the purge process.
itamar ~ λ sudo apt-get purge git
