Use the script to download the latest binary and create a. Install the googleearth-package package: sudo apt-get install googleearth-package Uninstall the existing package: sudo dpkg -P google-earth-stable I have found the solution to the problem:įind the currently installed Google Earth package dpkg -list 'google-earth*'
