I'm on Debian Stretch 9.5 .
oh my. you really shouldn't install packages from "unstable" onto your "stretch" installation. simply wait for the packages to appear in stretch-backports, and install from there. it's probably another 3 days to wait.
OK! That might be the problem ... I'm getting an installation but it looks like it's not complete.
I'll try to revert to 0.47 or 0.48.2 until the actual 0.49 release is uploaded to debian-backports.
Thanks, IOhannes! Ingo

(alternatively, you can upgrade your entire system to "Debian/unstable"; those distro releases are really there to guarantee you a consistent system)
When I type "pd" into the console it still wants to start 0.47 from /usr/lib/puredata which I finally moved away from the original folder.
Neither "apt-get remove puredata" nor "apt-get purge puredata" did uninstall my Pd 0.47 version.
that's because the "puredata" is just a meta-package that depends on the actual packages puredata-core and puredata-gui (and doesn't provide any functionality on it's own). even worse, the "puredata" package is happy if any version of puredata-core and puredata-gui are installed (even if it is just 0.47).
