Can't update ABP - Signature mismatch

[kgm4714]

I was notified of an update to ABP this morning. I've tried three times, in three different ways, to download and install the update. All have failed at the install stage with the message that an app with the same name and a different signature already exists. How am I supposed to apply this update?

Did you try to first uninstall the existent ABP ?

No, I didn't. An update should not ordinarily require the deletion of the existing version. And the signature mismatch concerns me.

"should not require" ... well, file an issue on the bug tracker: https://issues.adblockplus.org
then, try uninstalling the app and install the new 1

Been gone for a while. Apparently, the bug tracker requires a different registration from this forum. At the very least, the bug tracker rejected my credentials from this forum. Buggy, either in theory or in practice. Ultimately, I was required to uninstall and reinstall the app.

yep, you have to register a user for the bug tracker.
