Thanks for reporting a bug! In order to process this report further and help pinpoint the issue, I'll need you to answer a couple of questions:

1. What release were you upgrading from? 12.04 or 14.04?
2. Where did you install NitroShare from? The stable PPA? The dev PPA? A DEB package?

Once I understand exactly what happened, I can take a closer look at what might have caused this and hopefully get it fixed.

[shaperton (hew-skaling)]

Sure.

1. I was upgrading from 14.04.
2. I installed it from a DEB package.

As soon as I rebooted my computer, I reinstalled it again with the newest DEB package.
But I didn't do it because it had stopped working, it just bothered with the message.
Or that's what I've noticed.

The upgrade did all the work, I just relayed what it found out.

Thanks! I'll see if I can figure out exactly what happened and report my findings back here.

Just a quick update - I haven't forgotten about this bug. The last few weeks have been really busy dealing with the upgrade to 16.04 on all my systems.
