Gphoto2 not updating to latest version in Ubuntu 18.04

[BeebBenjamin]

Tried running this on Ubuntu 18.04

It stays on my current version after executing.

Here is the following output for gphoto2:

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

My package installer was stuck in a broken state. It now works. Closing because this was my fault. Interestingly there is no error handler for deleting the temp directory, so because it exited the script prematurely I had to go manually delete the temp folder so the process could begin again.
