xlibs error
Hi,
I've recently done a dist-upgrade which I haven't done since before
XFree4.01 went into woody - I was getting the packages from branden's
repository before then. However, I've come up against an error which I'm
not sure how to resolve. Something broke on the upgrade and now whenever
I do "apt-get upgrade" it fails and suggests I run "apt-get -f install".
When I do this, I get the following text:
pctgb:~# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
xlibs
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 178 not
upgraded.
10 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/1161kB of archives. After unpacking 4989kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
(Reading database ... 60850 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace xlibs 4.0.1-0phase2v21 (using
.../xlibs_4.0.1-10_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xlibs ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.0.1-10_i386.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults', which is also in
package xpaint
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.0.1-10_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Any help resolving this would be great as apt refuses to work until I
fix this.
TIA,
Gareth
