The new version should overwrite the old version. But then I don't use the deb installers myself, I only test them. I guess it is possible something could go wrong. But I would really like to know what is going wrong, since this seems to now be reported to happen for more than one person.

Yes I am. One more thing to try. Use the following command to try to start the program and report what happens:Jared":36h65e9g said:

Hi Maximus
Checking inside /usr/local/bin, the folder is empty.
The command "which hddsuperclone", returns nothing...
On my home PC also with Kubuntu but version 17.04, it works ok...
Also, downloading the tar.gz and going inside the extracted folder, when I execute hddsuperclone or sudo hddsuperclone, nothing happens (no error returns...)

I just did a test again with the live cd version of Kubuntu, and the deb package does install it to /usr/local/bin, so I am not sure what is happening in your case. And if it is not there then you should get a message that it can't be found when you try to run it, that is the weird part.pclab":o8zgbsy8 said:
When you try to execute hddsuperclone from withing an extracted folder, you must add "./" before the file name to tell it that the file you are trying to run is in the current folder, otherwise it is still trying to run the "phantom" program.
Code:
sudo ./hddsupercloneYou should also be able to install it manually with the instructions. I do not know what is happening with deb install, especially since I can't reproduce it, and it seems to be inconsistent. I will consider it an open issue though. Just one that I don't know why it is happening or how to fix it
If you have not already manually installed it already, please try this deb installer. The original is supposed to run the uninstaller before installing, and I removed that part from this one so that it does not run the uninstaller. I am just wondering if that has anything to do with it, that maybe it is running the uninstaller at the wrong time in your case. That is about all I can think of for now.
One last thing. Try the following command to install the deb package and see what happens. You should be in the same folder as the deb package for this command, or specify the location.
EDIT:
I am not sure why, but some things I have been reading suggest that you should also run the following command after the above command. I don't know why because the first command seems to work to install it.
I was reading that there was a bug in Ubuntu 16.04 that would prevent installing of 3rd party software, but I am not sure if that is what is causing your issue. If so, then theses commands should work.
Code:
sudo dpkg -i hddsuperclone.free_1.12-1_amd64.debI am not sure why, but some things I have been reading suggest that you should also run the following command after the above command. I don't know why because the first command seems to work to install it.
Code:
sudo apt-get install -f
