Hello all, I am facing problems updating my ionic library

First I did  
`sudo npm -g ionic`

That worked fine

```
ionic --version
1.6.1

```

Now inside my project I am doing

```
ionic lib update
bower ionic#1.0.0-rc.4 cached git://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower.git#1.0.0-rc.4
bower ionic#1.0.0-rc.4 validate 1.0.0-rc.4 against git://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower.git#1.0.0-rc.4

```

It seems to be stuck on 1.0.0-rc-4

```
ionic lib    
Local Ionic version: 1.0.0-rc.4 (/Users/xxxx/www/lib/ionic/bower.json)
    Latest Ionic version: 1.0.1 (released 2015-06-30)
     * Local version is out of date

cat bower.json 
{
  "name": "myproject",
  "private": "true",
  "devDependencies": {
    "ionic": "driftyco/ionic-bower#1.0.0-rc.4"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "ng-mfb": "~0.4.0"
  }
}

```

Any help?

Okay, I fixed it by manually editing bower.json to point it to 1.0.1 and then do a lib update. I shouldn’t have had to do that, I think.

I still got a

```
bower ionic#1.0.1 invalid-meta ionic is missing "ignore" entry in bower.json

```

But it worked. Now SCSS is working well too.
