Apt-Get funbits
I was updating my knop/deb at work today and I stumbled upon an interesting bug…
Unpacking libntfs5 (from …/libntfs5_1.9.2-2_i386.deb) …
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libntfs5_1.9.2-2_i386.deb (–unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libntfs.so.5.0.0′, which is also in package ntfsprogs
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libntfs5_1.9.2-2_i386.deb
It seems that I’m ntot the only one with this type of problem. And it seems to completely halt apt-get from doing anything but attempting to do that one installation. Fortunatley there is a quick solution - unpacking the damn libntfs5_1 library yourself:
dpkg -i –force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/libntfs5_1.9.2-2_i386.deb
That worked for me… Hey - I’m learning… I’m still very much windoze user, although I’m working really hard to overcome that defficiency.
