Hi there I'm a bit confused about updating on my debian server. I'm using duplicity + duply on my server and wanted to update duply to the latest version. Running: 

sudo apt-get install duply

Tells me that I have the latest version 1.5.5. The project website says 1.9.2 is the latest.

So why does apt-get not install 1.9.2?
Thanks in advance

Because apt-get update to the latest version in the Debian repository, not the newest version of the upstream project.

In general, many/most Linux distributions do this, updates only are there to fix security issues, not to get the newest version.
