GIP 2.95 reports as v2.83 in Linux Mint!!!

[Alan Milewczyk]

I'm puzzled......

I'm in the process of converting most of my PCs (except two) to Linux 
Mint and decided to install GIP2.95 on one of those Linux Mint 17.3 
Cinnamon x64 systems.

I downloaded GIP from the get-iplayer PPA, extracted and installed it.

Did a get_iplayer --refresh only to find it's reporting as being v2.83 
and searching for BBC Three feeds:

I've looked at the source code and it's indicating it's v2.95, so I'm 
well and truly puzzled. Before anyone says something this is a 
relatively new installation of Linux Mint (early April) and GIP has 
never been installed on this PC before!

Hmmmm
