[Bug 511855] [NEW] Program checks for updated version and refuses to run when there is one

[Lorenzo J. Lucchini]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: esniper

I'm not marking this as a duplicate of #217318 because that one seems to
be saying a slightly different thing.

When running eSniper 2.21.0-1, as included in the Lucid repositories,
the program complains that an updated version (2.22.0) can be found - I
assume by checking http://esniper.sourceforge.net/ - and refuses to
continue, with the following message:

esniper encountered a bug.  It looks like your esniper version is not
current.  You have version 2.21.0, the newest version is 2.22.0.
Please go to http://esniper.sf.net/ and update your copy of esniper.

If you want to report this bug, please go to:
        http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=45285&atid=442436
