Will this work too for upgrading an existing (and used) 1.7 version?
.. using apt-get upgrade afterward, instead apt-get install?

Hello Brian,
It should work. Try once.
Given below is man page info for apt-get command –
upgrade
upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages
currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in
/etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new
versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no
circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages
not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of
currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without
changing the install status of another package will be left at
their current version. An update must be performed first so that
apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available.

Hi Sharad
Further to my last email, it works if you run the wget command as “sudo”.
You may want to update your instructions…

Yes,it was typo.I missed to put sudo before wget command.
Typo has corrected now.
Thankyou Craig.
Hi Sharad
Thanks very much for this. This is just what I was looking for.
However…
When I execute
wget -q http://opensource.wandisco.com/wandisco-debian.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add –
I get
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Any ideas?
Thanks
