Despite installing new version, --version still shows outdated version

[annevhb]

Hi,
Could someone guide me to uninstall an old onedrive version please?
I've searched online but none of the many suggestions (mostly a variation on the theme of apt-get remove, with or without --purge) have helped me.

I'm using onedrive on Ubuntu 20.04.
I uninstalled onedrive, updated curl following these instructions: #2997 and tried to install onedrive 2.5.4. All seemed to work smoothly, but when I run onedrive --version, I still get onedrive v2.4.25-13-g1a88d33

I tried the process with Suse from https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/ubuntu-package-install.md#known-issues-with-installing-from-the-above-packages
Same thing, it all goes well, but when I run onedrive, I get the same version.

Where is that old version hiding, and how can I delete it please?

Many thanks

You have manually compiled the application at some point in time, and it is been put in an obscure location due to how Ubuntu determines where to put things.

What is the output when you run:

which onedrive

What is the output when you run that command and add --version ?

Example (using Fedora):

[alex@onedrive-client-dev ~]$ which onedrive
/usr/local/bin/onedrive
[alex@onedrive-client-dev ~]$ /usr/local/bin/onedrive --version
onedrive v2.4.25
[alex@onedrive-client-dev ~]$ 

This should be the offending application version on your system, and the binary that needs to be removed:

Example:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/onedrive

Many thanks, that worked!
It was in a local/bin folder. After deleting it as you recommended, the command onedrive now runs the upgraded version.

which I think may indicate some problems (?), but I can't debug...

You have run into an API Bug .. where data that is supposed to be there .. is not being provided by the API.

Please raise a new bug report and provide a verbose debug log following this https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/wiki/Generate-debug-log-for-support

I do have curl installed (in fact I've updated to the latest version 8.11-1.

Have you also updated libcurl ?
