Hello all - I am looking for some guidance as to why apt update/upgrade isn’t grabbing 1.20.1? When running sudo apt update and then sudo apt upgrade, it says that the newest version (1.19.0) is already installed.
Couldn’t say, my apt shows 1.20.1. You’ll have to do more troubleshooting and show more info.
apt.s.n should have both 1.19.2 and 1.20.1. See

I will dig a bit further later - I decided to do the full distribution upgrade to 22.04, so that is in progress… This is a Ubuntu Budgie install on a SFF PC that I use purely for syncthing.
So maybe the issue is that it is pulling from the ubuntu source (not apt.syncthing.net)?

Description: decentralized file synchronization
Syncthing is an application that lets you synchronize your files across
multiple devices. This means the creation, modification or deletion of files
on one machine will automatically be replicated to your other devices.
Syncthing does not upload your data to the cloud but exchanges your data
across your machines as soon as they are online at the same time.
.
This package contains the main binary: syncthing.
So if I just run the commands shown here, would it cause me any issues (would it just upgrade in place over the currently installed version from the ubuntu apt source)?
That output looks like you’ve installed syncthing as a .deb manually (via dpkg) and not via apt.
If you’ve done that, it’s expected that you can’t upgrade - apt has no idea where it should get a more recent .deb from.
Note that apt show -a shows all available sources, not just the ones you’ve installed the package from (use apt show without -a for that). Your output shows a manually installed .deb and it also shows that syncthing is available from Ubuntu package mirrors, but it wasn’t installed from there (you also would have syncthing 1.18 as that’s whats packaged with Ubuntu).
Your output is addtionally missing apt.s.n, so that’s another sign that you haven’t installed the package from there.
Again, doesn’t look like you’ve installed anything from Ubuntu mirrors, but yes that should work. That’s what we were assuming you had done in the first place.
If this is an upgraded install all of this may be some weird side effect of upgrading, not sure.

Thanks!
I just added apt.syncthing.net via the instructions and ran apt update and apt upgrade. This installed the latest version over my existing install with no issues.
