Hello friends,

I have been using Arch based on the love it gets here. I've built google chrome from the AUR before. Today, I tried to update it. (I sorta forgot about how you have to build it yourself and everything). The version in AUR says "20.0.1132.47-1". When I go to About Google Chrome, I get "Version 19.0.1084.56".

I tried removing the previous version and remaking the package. It gave me the same version. What gives? During the make, it downloads "google-chrome-stable-20.0.1132.47-144678.i386.rpm"

I'm lost here.

e: this is the AUR page: https://aur.archlinu...es.php?ID=37469

Did you restart chrome after updating the package?

My versions match up just fine:

Yeah I've restarted it a few times. Actually, running google-chrome --version from a console gives the expected result. Maybe it is the right version and the "About" page is just wrong?

[neil@arch ~]$ pacman -Qi google-chrome | grep Version
Version		: 20.0.1132.47-1
[neil@arch ~]$ google-chrome --version
Google Chrome 20.0.1132.47

I figured it out. I was closing it, but it was still running in the background :> It says it's the correct version now. Wrench -> Exit from now on! (although I unchecked the "allow google chrome to run in the background" box)

Mine does not stay running if I close it. I always have htop running so I always pay attention to what is running.

I'm just kidding. It's like the KDE thing, you know. Although, I don't think KDE is evil. ;)
