Issue #294 wontfix

Mike Sussman created an issue 2014-04-23

Upgrading Ubuntu releases leaves the .instant cache in the user's directory. If the version of swig is also upgraded, then the version mismatch causes dolfin to fail.

The instructions for upgrading Ubuntu releases already mention re-installing the ppa. In addition, they should explain that the .instant directory should be removed or cleaned out.

Instant dependency will be removed by ~~#897~~.

For information, my understanding is that there are Debian/Ubuntu policy issues around cleaning out caches automatically.
