Update sphinx from source after apt-get

aptsphinxsphinxsearch

I'm running the latest debian as OS.

I installed Sphinx using

apt-get install sphinxsearch

However, I need to communicate with sphinx trough PHP. In order to do so I downloaded the latest Sphinx version to obtain the phpapi.

wget http://sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinx-2.0.5-release.tar.gz

When I try to perform a query I get an error about versions.

Query failed: searchd error: client version is higher than daemon version (client is v.1.25, daemon is v.1.22)

Apperently apt-get doesn't install the latest version. Doing an OS update and upgrade does not solve this either.

So I assume I have to update my sphinx installation from the downloaded source. Can I simply compile and install the source without losing data?

Or do you guys have another suggestion?

Try uninstalling the default version of Sphinx, and using the latest Ubuntu/Debian package from http://sphinxsearch.com/downloads/release/ in order to take advantage of the latest version of the server.

Your /etc/interfaces file looks fine, and since you managed to run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade successfully, this indicates that your network config is good.

As to why you can't install GNOME, the package is called gnome-desktop-environment rather than ubuntu-desktop. You may want to opt for gnome-core instead, which contains less bloat than the full blown desktop environment would.

If that doesn't work, please could you edit your original question to include the error text from apt-get.

Edit 1
Since you're getting package not found for everything, check out /etc/apt/sources.list and check the repositories for universe and multiverse aren't commented out (i.e have a # at the beginning of the line). If they are, remove the # and try again.

Edit 2
For the key error, try the following command sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192. (Source)

You can do a couple of things for avoiding this. Setting the DEBIAN_FRONTEND variable to noninteractive and using -y flag. For example:

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
apt-get -yq install [packagename]

If you need to install it via sudo, use:

sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -yq install [packagename]
