I have received the question of,

"HELP!!: i seem to have an outdated version of OpenTTD (UBUNTU 11.04) and i can't update it to 1.2.1 please,help me!!"

How should I respond?

I was thinking about telling them to do a clean install, but I dont use linux, so I don't know.

No .deb packages for 11.04 anymore, is there any particular reason that your questioner is still using 11.04? (11.10 and 12.04 are both out)

Anyway (assuming they have a package-installed version at the moment, 'sudo apt-get remove openttd', then download the linux generic binary for their architecture from here and decompress it somewhere. Then make a .desktop file for it (optional).

Just remove the version you have installed from synaptic and install 1.2.1 manually in a folder of your choice (in your personal directory).

If you need more help with the above just ask ... although I might take some time to respond as it is diner time.


Edit:
FLHerne was faster.
