As described, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/419226 , the "get-iplayer 
-u" option will attempt an in-place upgrade directly from upstream.  In normal 
usage, this command will fail as the application isn't normally run with root 
privileges.  The attached patch provides a basic configuration file that 
instructs get_iplayer to display a saner, apt based upgrade path.
