[Bug 427378] [NEW] googleearth-package checks for old version of Google Earth

[CePal]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: googleearth-package

Linux distibution: Ubuntu 9.04 x86
package: googleearth-package
package version: 0.5.4.1~ubuntu1 (jaunty)

The script only needs to have the following line updated to check for current version:
original:
  if grep -E 'GNU/Linux 5.0.' <<<"$version" > /dev/null; then
new version:
  if grep -E 'GNU/Linux 5.1.' <<<"$version" > /dev/null; then

Otherwise it fails for "unknown" version and requires "--force" to get processed. Personally, I am not sure what is this checking good for, the situation will repeat and I can't imagine it would download a wrong version once the link is pointing to Google's site where the latest version should be anyway.
  So maybe, removing this test, would be more useful.
