I'm talking about the automatic update, the one proposed directly by the 
system.
This update doesn't go through the terminal.
And if you don't delete the old Gambas, it'll be a mess, because it 
disables the additional repositories and installs Gambas from the 
official repository.

Note that I don't perform updates and I compile Gambas anyway.
