Sorry to hear that. I've looked in Synaptic and it shows the installed version as '3.12.6-3ubuntu4', so the system has installed the @hotzeplot file 'believing' it to be a reinstallation of the repo's one.
I see that yours reports it as coming from a ppa (3.12.6-3ubuntu4ppa1) - does that mean you added Andrea's ppa as a software source? I can imagine that might cause Synaptic etc. to give the @hotzeplot file a different version label. I simply downloaded it from the link and installed the .deb file locally.
