I have no idea what is causing it not to upgrade. I just did a clean NOOBs installation of 8.0, ran apt-get dist-upgrade then had a look at opencpn. Still 4.4. Finally, I did apt-get purge opencpn*, and tried again to install opencpn with just apt-get install opencpn (and also apt-get install opencpn=4.6.0). Just the plain apt-get got me back to 4.4, and the one with the version couldn't find the correct version. I checked again, and the opencpn PPA is definitely installed.
So, I went to the PPA directly and downloaded version 4.6.0-trusty1. It installed fine, using dpkg -i. Plugins and gshss also installed fine.
Apt-cache policy now shows this:
apt-cache policy opencpn
opencpn:
Installed: 4.6.0-0~trusty1
Candidate: 4.6.0-0~trusty1
Version table:
*** 4.6.0-0~trusty1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4.4.0-0~trusty1 0
500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/nohal/opencpn/ubuntu/ trusty/main armhf Packages
Weird.
Unfortunately, I didn't try apt-cache policy before I upgraded. I guess I could go back again, but I have to head over to the boat this morning and spend stupid amounts of money repairing the engine (as opposed to piling my money on the floor here in my office and setting fire to it).
As my wife would say, "Whatever..."
Thanks for the help.
