Upgrading Question

[Les]

By "grayed out" I am referring to Synaptic gnucash displaying 2.6.7
(current) and the upgrade 2.6.9. There is no way to install.  There is
an explanation mark in the area that would normally be clicked to do the
upgrade. 

I previously uninstalled the getdeb installation.  When I reinstalled
it, there is a newer version (vivid).  I don't remember what the
previous version was.  I just completed an upgrade to 17.2 and removed
getdeb.  I believe it GC can be upgraded if I first uninstall the
current version.

As far as repos, I had to change the location of trusty because it was
pointing to a down website. I think if I had the previous version of
getdeb, I would have a valid update.

I have "update manager" running in my main panel and no updates have
been displayed.

Thanks for the information.
