That doesn't work either, anyway. I have the same problem. I install the client (on my Ubuntu Gutsy), and when I try to login I'm told it's not the right version, and that I should run the updater. Of course, I didn't, since you all seem so adamant about how the updater is not to be used at all.
But then, what should I do? Should I try every mirror in the hope of finding an installer that is actually up to date?
EDIT: please ignore what I wrote above, or call me a moron. I actually installed an older client I didn't remember I had the installer for. I'm messy. Sorry.
