at the latest version:

python-django is already the newest version.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.

Uninstall using sudo apt-get remove django

You probably want to stop your web server for the duration of the process. Sometimes having it running will prevent upgrades.

Re-install using pip rather than apt-get ...

pip install django==1.4.5
pip install <any other Django-related packages>

Prove everything still works (temporarily start the web server)

pip install --upgrade django==1.5.x

Re-start your web server

If you use apt-get you are stuck with the version of Django which the package maintainers originally settled on for your distro. Using pip you can manage it all yourself.

Andreas' advice to use virtualenv is excellent and you should follow it.

Good luck


any suggestions?
