Topic: Transactions unconfirmed after few weeks (Read 567 times)
I feel sorry for your situation.
The only logical solution would be to subtract my current version from 0.9.1 and download whatever number is left.
Well it could have been secure up until 0.9.1 and now it's not. You never know. 
Or...
It could have been insecure up until 0.9.1 and now it finally is.

What if the bug is a bunch of crap and the new version of Bitcoin-QT has backdoors in it?
What if Bitcoin security is a bunch of crap, and the old version of Bitcoin-Q has backdoors in it?
If you aren't able to review and compile the source code yourself, and you don't trust the open source community to review the code and inform you of any problems, then why are you even using Bitcoin in the first place?

Bitcoin is open source, so there aren't any backdoors in the official client

I haven't updated one of my Bitcoin-QT clients in several months. One of my transactions from early April is still unconfirmed 3 weeks later. Should I update my Bitcoin client and move the Wallet.dat or use pywallet? Any ideas?
Transaction ID?
Depending on the problem, it may never confirm (it may no longer be a valid transaction).
You could use pywallet to remove the transaction from your wallet. That would work as long as the recipient isn't re-broadcasting the transaction regularly.
It would be a good idea to upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.9.1 regardless of how you fix this problem. Make sure you have a good backup of the wallet before you do anything else.
