hmm this could be due to a naming-update at 0.2.2; have you tried uninstalling and doing a clean install? The update should work from here on

I had the same issue, and I can confirm that removing the 0.2.1-b with dkgp -r insomnia, and retrying the install of the 0.2.3-a, works as expected.

I can confirm that running:

sudo dpkg -r insomnia
sudo dpkg -i Insomnium.Core-0.2.3-a.deb

worked. Thanks for the help and an awesome project :)
