Hi There,
I just installed BC3 from the Ubutnu Software Center. That version ran fine, but told me there was BC4. I haven't been able to upgrade to that version. I downloaded bcompare-4.0.0.18847_amd64.deb, but when I try to install it I get this error:
cschmidt@cschmidt-dev:~/Downloads$ sudo gdebi bcompare-4.0.0.18847_amd64.deb

Beyond Compare 4
Beyond Compare is a powerful time-saving utility for comparing files and
folders.
Use it to manage source code, keep folders in sync, compare program output,
and validate copies of your data. Beyond Compare can create a snapshot of a
live directory structure, and compare it against the live copy at a later
date.
Beyond Compare helps you analyze differences in detail and carefully reconcile
them. It commands a wide range of file and text operations, as well as script
commands for automating tasks.
Do you want to install the software package? [y/N]:y

Errors were encountered while processing:
bcompare-4.0.0.18847_amd64.deb
I have tried uninstalling BC3 with the Software Center interface, but get the same error. I've even tried deleting the .png file mentioned in the error message, but strangely that doesn't seem to change things either.
Any suggestions? This is my first try of BC, and so far it isn't going so well.
