Except the newer builds are only available for armel so then you need to use --force-architecture to install it:

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture [deb filename]

Note that this may be dangerous so don't blame me if you need to reflash your Q7 or something, but in general it's fine, arm and armel are basically the same.

You might find that the newer version needs newer versions of everything else too, like libc and stuff, if that's the case I'd just give up, it's not worth trying to replace all of those since they are used by other programs.
Thank you Markr. I am using that version - 0.7-2. Is there a newer version? I am not sure about all the dependencies but I installed through apt-get and it was a 207MB download. I will try installing Squeeze and then give up

Thanks again.
