However when I ran the steps in Testing the Installation <https://confluence.lsstcorp.org/display/LSWUG/Testing+the+Installation> the resulting detected-sources.txt catalog is vastly different from the detected-sources.txt.expected catalog. I have put snippets of these files on:

We need to improve the versioning and release system for the demo package so they're consistent (it's relatively rare that they're out of sync, because changes to the demo package are rare, but that's certainly the case right now).

Thanks for info. Tim Jenness informed me that the latest version is v10_0. This wasn’t clear from the release history on the LSST Software User Guide <https://confluence.lsstcorp.org/display/LSWUG/LSST+Software+User+Guide> (which list 9.2 as the latest release), or from the Building the LSST Stack from Source <https://confluence.lsstcorp.org/display/LSWUG/Building+the+LSST+Stack+from+Source> (which also notes 9.2). Should I upgrade to v10.0?
