Vagrant 1.9.3 .deb claims: "An older version is available in a software channel"

[James Tester]

I'm using Debian Jessie and when I run:

sudo apt show vagrant

the latest Vagrant version available is 1.6.5+dfsg1-2

so I downloaded https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/1.9.3/vagrant_1.9.3_x86_64.deb

but when I open the .deb using GDebi, I receive the message:

"An older version is available in a software channel
Generally it is recommended that you install the version from the software channel, since it is usually better supported."

It will not allow me to continue with the installation.
However, if I run the following command in a terminal:

sudo gdebi vagrant_1.9.3_x86_64.deb

this installs Vagrant 1.9.3 successfully.  So is this a bug in GDebi or is it an issue with the Vagrant.deb file?

hello

you can install the package with dpkg  -i too from the command line

the status of the packages is managed by the distro, in this case debian:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vagrant

not sure why they are on 1.6.5 still, i think is more a question for the package maintainers
