v0.10.31!
Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?
The package manager doesn't know anything about software you manually
installed.
The ideal thing to do would be to just install the nodejs package: I see
Ubuntu trusty has 0.10.25, and Debian has 0.10.29 in both testing and
unstable. You may be able to just download the source package and rebuild
it for precise.
Or you could try using the "equivs" package to fake out the package manager.
