Anki does not sync with server, upgrade to 0.9.9.8.5

[Thomas Schewe]

Binary package hint: anki

Anki cannot sync the decks with server, cause of a new version.

Error-message: The sync protocol has changed. Please upgrade.

Error occurs on Ubuntu 8.10 (Anki 0.9.5.7-1) and it seems like the problem occurs also in Ubuntu 9.04 (see: http://groups.google.com/group/ankisrs/browse_thread/thread/7c97b05324e4700d).

It seems to be necessary to go up to the newest version (0.9.9.7.7-1).

The bug still occurs on Karmic that includes version 0.9.9.7.8. See attached screenshot. Marking the bug as confirmed. From Anki's website, it appears that it would be beneficial to have at least version 0.9.9.8.2 due to numerous bug fixes.

[Bruno Girin (brunogirin)]

To resolve the bug, the version of Anki should be 0.9.9.8.5 (latest) or at the very least 0.9.9.8.2 as it includes a significant number of bug fixes.

Yep, please update Anki!

the .deb for version 0.9.9.8.6-1 is located at http://code.google.com/p/anki/downloads/list and is linked from anki's website at http://ichi2.net/anki/#linux if this deb could be ported to the repos I think it would be much appreciated by all anki users.
