Since you initially ran 'bzr branch' instead of 'bzr checkout,' your local copy will not be bound to the upstream repository.

To fetch revisions from trunk with an unbound branch, run 'bzr pull lp:inkscape'.

To bind your local copy to the repository, run 'bzr bind lp:inkscape'. You can then in the future run 'bzr update' to fetch revisions.
