[GitHub] [mynewt-newt] PatrickTague opened a new issue #422: native install instructions for Linux installs old version, doesn't upgrade, gives errors

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

PatrickTague opened a new issue #422:
URL: https://github.com/apache/mynewt-newt/issues/422


   In following the instructions to native install newt on Ubuntu, following the instructions results in an install of newt version 1.7.0, which is out of date.  In creating a test project and running `newt upgrade`, newt then complains that the installed newt version doesn't match the project repo that was downloaded, and fails.  The install instructions also seem to suggest that running `newt upgrade` would upgrade the newt tool itself, but that doesn't seem to happen, so this seems to hit a wall.
   
   Can someone quickly look into those install instructions and see if there is an error somewhere, or is there some other issue with Linux installation?
   
   I'm attempting to install on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 VM, following all of the instructions line by line, including adding i386 compilers and such.
