    I was coming from a different angle. If you had a version of J-Pilot
    which you know worked with your PDA, why did you go and upgrade it? 
    
    This isn't Windows, so there is no reason to constantly upgrade like
    that. When things are working in Linux, you can generally leave them
    alone.
    
    If you see a new version that fixes a bug _that affects you_ (this is
    important), or adds a feature _that you would use_, then upgrading is
    something you'll want to do, otherwise it's not necessary to upgrade to
    new versions.
    
    I know it sounds somewhat counter-intuitive if you come from a Windows
    background, but constantly having the latest and greatest versions of
    every single package on Linux, is really unnecessary when things are
    working fine on your system.
