Hi Jim,

I'm not a user of Debian/Ubuntu or its offspring - so I'm not sure of the way 
for you to update.  I think you have to enable a Universe or Unstable 
repository in APT then it should be simple.

Hopefully either a list search will shed light, or a user of such systems 
might be able to chime in here with better instructions.

Good Luck
Maf.
