Asked by elhoir

HIi all,
Im using Ubuntu 13.04, and i have installed boinc 7.0.27

i have noticed that trhere is a newer version (7.0.65) in backports, so i have tried to install it.

But, acconrding to apt, current installed version is "latest"

this is my apt-cache policy output:

elhoir@elhoir-desktop:/etc/apt/apt.conf.d$ sudo apt-cache policy boinc
boinc:

Ubuntu does not automatically use backports. They need to be enabled first. Full details here:

Can't be /lucid-backports but must be /raring-backports of course.
