apt is trying to first fix the partially installed packages. You might
have better luck with dpkg. Here's some ideas.
Thank you so much for this.
First try to use dpkg to do the removal:
dpkg --remove terminology terminology-data
That worked fine.
And if that works, you should be able to go ahead and remove all of the
wedged EFL packages:
dpkg --remove libeina1a libeet1 ...
That got me
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove libeina1a:amd64 which isn't
installed
(repeated for each of the packages).
I also had success with dpkg --remove enlightenment enlightenment-data
But that puts me back to the same place: if I try to install anything, I
get this (repeated for all the relevant packages)
Selecting previously unselected package libevas-loaders:amd64.
Preparing to unpack .../11-libevas-loaders_1.26.1-0bionic0_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking libevas-loaders:amd64 (1.26.1-0bionic0) ...
dpkg: error processing archive
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-BBhT2o/11-libevas-loaders_1.26.1-0bionic0_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite
'/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/evas/utils/evas_generic_pdf_loader.libreoffice',
which is also in package libefl 1.20.7-0bionic0
Finally got around it by doing apt autoremove and taking the error
output and grabbing all the libe* entries and using dpkg to remove them
and all their dependencies.
Yay.
Looks like a bug in the Linux Mint packages.
[...]
dpkg won't allow packages to overwrite one another's data.
Could well be, but it's moot now,and I won't need e on this machine
until I do a full wipe and install something newer...when I find a fix
for the broken Emacs config.
Many thanks for your help.
Peter
