I would either remove option 1, since this is currently not an option. (As far as I understand) And then add the option when 2.0 becomes "available in the official repositories"

Or remove the Debian example until the Debian example installs 2.0.

Anyway I just finished to compile my own version of SFML, and found that tutorial really easy to follow

Since when do people not check what packages are installed by apt when installing a meta-package?

Apparently we are some, and I am not claiming that we are not stupid.
I am just saying if you want to help stupid people, and if you want to avoid people posting about accidentally installing 1.6 thinking they installed 2.0, you might want to make the tutorial clearer.

I am sorry for bumping an old thread, but I just made the same mistake of installing 1.6 thinking I was installing 2.0.

As someone new to SFML and c++ I really think, that you should make people aware that "sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev" doesn't install 2.0 at the moment.

I thought it was clear enough to say

if the version of SFML that you want to install is available in the official repositories

Looking back it might be clear. But when I read a tutorial about how to install version X, I assume that option 1 leads to installing version X.
