Problem Upgrading Osmosis

Version 0.43 was installed and worked.
(Note: java7 installed, Linux system.)
Following the “pre-built” installation instructions here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Installation
I installed 0.45 as no “upgrade” instructions could be found.
My bad.


This resulted in both versions installed (0.43 in ~/ ) (0.45 in ~/bin/
) and after changing .osmosis configuration to point to /bin, Osmosis
launches and reports version 0.45.

However, Osmosis now does not complete and exits with:

SEVERE: Execution aborted.
org.openstreetmap.osmosis.core.OsmosisRuntimeException: No default
pipes are available as input for task 4-bounding-box.

or (after adding –tee 6)

SEVERE: Execution aborted.
org.openstreetmap.osmosis.core.OsmosisRuntimeException: The following
named pipes () and 6 default pipes have not been terminated with
appropriate output sinks.

whereas previously it worked.

A partial code Osmosis example: (2 lines, Linux)
...
    --bounding-box left=-27 right=52 top=38 bottom=-37 \
    --write-pbf /media/DataSSD/map_data/osm/AfricaD.osm.pbf
omitmetadata=true granularity=10000 compress=none \
...

I believe these errors may be due to having 2 versions of Osmosis
installed and my question (finally) is how to proceed:

Should I delete the .43 version (using file manager? - or is there a
better method?),

or delete both versions and re-install .45?
(after saving my current config values)

or are there other suggestions.

And a related installation question - does Osmosis “automatically”
install needed dependencies in /lib ?

Thanks!
