How to Update AdoDB on Ubuntu to get through the check?

I am running Mantis 1.2.8 on a current Ubuntu server. When I call <myMantis>/admin/check.php, it tells me:
Checking your installation
Checking adodb version...
V4.94 23 Jan 2007 (c) 2000-2007 John Lim (jlim#natsoft.com.my). All rights reserved. Released BSD & LGPL. WARN
Database Type (adodb) mysql

What do I have to do in order to fix this warning?

Maybe my note wasn't clear for others:
I'd like to know how I can get rid of the warning that the adodb version seems to be inappropriate. Any hints?

This issue seems to be silly, as it seems to be caused by a hard-coded version string in /core/adodb/adodb.inc.php:
Code: Select all
$ADODB_vers = 'V4.94 23 Jan 2007 (c) 2000-2007 John Lim (jlim#natsoft.com.my). All rights reserved. Released BSD & LGPL.';
This string seems to be compared with my current version (5.1.58-1ubuntu1) which then throws this silly warning.
There is another hard-coded adodb version string in /library/adodb/adodb.inc.php:
Code: Select all
$ADODB_vers = 'V5.10 10 Nov 2009 (c) 2000-2009 John Lim (jlim#natsoft.com). All rights reserved. Released BSD & LGPL. MantisBT Version';
Is it possible that I have mixed some source files by copying the update versions over old installations?

So here is the solution:
NEVER simply copy old files over new files.
After I have checked my files, I saw that the /core/ folder contained some outdated subfolders, like /adodb/, which has been moved to the /library/ folder somewhen in the past by the developers.
After I had removed these outdated folders from the /core/ folder, the check passed successfully. Holy sh**.

Read file doc/INSTALL for the recommended way to upgrade.
You should unpack a clean 1.2.8 and compare it with your current installation.
There might be other files in your installation which you should remove to prevent further unwanted effects.

I am now checking all files against my previous version and found an issue in /core/cfdefs/cfdef_standard.php:
It misses the closing PHP tag ?> at the very end. I am quite sure this is a minor issue, but didn't anyone else note this?

This is intended.
You will hardly find any closing PHP tag at the end of files in whole source code of MantisBT.
