Re: Version mismatches - upgrade on Ubuntu 22.04 from rdiff-backup 2.0.5 to 2.2.2 or 2.2.6

Thanks Eric and Patrik.

Patrik, on a client (running Ubuntu 22.04) I added your repo (for 
rdiffweb) per the instructions at your website (option 1), but running 
apt upgrade I don't see an upgrade available for rdiff-backup (from 
v2.0.5), do I need to do something else?
