Thank you for the help. However, can someone from the dev team confirm the documentation is wrong? I really wouldn't want to mess up my system installing other versions of the db because all other wallets want 4.8 for compatibility reasons.
nothing special to call for devs, just read this:
https://github.com/aurarad/Auroracoin/releases/tag/2016.08.1.05.3 is the correct DB version now. Documentation is out of date and needs to be updated. I'll create an issue for it on the github now.
You can probably apt-get it, but if not, the above instructions should work.
