Cannot update from 3.1.1 to 3.4.2

Hi,
I installed sab with apt and I'm on version 3.1.1 but even if I git pull develop or master branch it will not update me.
My directory is /opt/sabnzbd and sab must run as the user "media" if I install sab again with git in a different directory and run with python I have the latest version, but this won't work because I've lost all my stats and it downloads the files as root and not media
If I cd to /opt/sabnzbd and update with git clone after moving to develop branch it seems to update. (I cant paste output because it thinks I'm posting links
But I'm still on 3.1.1. Has anyone got any ideas ?

Have you used this?
https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/i ... buntu-repo
And what version of which OS are you on?

I'm looking for some help too. I need to upgrade from 3.1.1 to 3.4.2 running on Debian 11. Any advice?

I have not, I'm on debian 11. Would that work too?

So you installed via Debian's apt, right?
If so, how can it have landed in /opt/sabnzbd? Maybe it's possible, but I don't know how. On my Ubuntu's and Debian's, it lands in /usr/bin/ and /usr/share/sabnzbdplus/. See
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/al ... s/filelist
EDIT: as
https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/sab ... s/download is SAB 3.4.2, why not login as the user that is going to run SABnzbd, install SAB 3.4.2 as that user, and use it from there, and ignore (remove) stuff in /opt/sabnzbd. Seems easier to me
Or: if you want to use the git version, login as the user that use run SABnzbd, git clone SAB in to ~/sabnzbd, and use it from there?
EDIT: maybe this an option for you: Ubuntu is available for Raspi 4. If you run that, all the nice user-friendly features of Ubuntu (including SABnzbd and unrar-free) are there ready-made for you. See

Not sure how it ended up in /opt. I do have some files in /usr/share/sabnzbd but not the same ones as in /opt. I guess I could try that link and install it as the media user

Thanks man, I got it by adding that repo you linked and doing apt install sabnzbd and it updated it for me. Appreciate it
