Re: converting old to new version not working right

[Jim Long]

One possible explanation is that you have more than one version
of convert-ly on your system, perhaps from having installed the
software using different methods.  If the older one is in a path
that gets searched before the new binary's location, then your
shell will find and run the old one.

$ find / -name convert-ly

should confirm or refute that theory.

If it's not that, another possibility is that perhaps your
package management tools or procedures have led you astray
somehow.  Download a new package, and check its contents before
you re-install it.  Afterward see whether the convert-ly binary
that got installed is the same as the one inside the package
archive.

HTH,

Jim
