Currently he has 3.6.0.2 installed, and Apt thinks that the latest
available version is 3.6.0.2. Uninstalling the current version shouldn't
suddenly make apt realise that 3.6.2 is available; if it can't find
the new version now, then the bit that's wrong is the bit that
retrieves package lists from repositories, not the locally-installed
package itself.

In short - the problem isn't in what apt thinks is installed, it's in
what apt thinks is available.
