working by removing acroread and acroread-debian-files, then reinstall the acroread. -- package acroread 8.1.3-0medibuntu0.8.10.2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/acroread.1.gz', which is also in package acroread-debian-files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I meant version 8.1.3 of course. And the other 2 packages that are now redundant and likely incompatible are "acroread-plugins" and "mozilla-acroread". These 2 packages have been included in the Canonical acroread package and should also be removed automatically when updating. Since a lot of people do use the Medibuntu repository (it was the easiest way to get Adobe Reader up until version 8.10) this probably shouldn't be ignored. -- package acroread 8.1.3-0medibuntu0.8.10.2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/acroread.1.gz', which is also in package acroread-debian-files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had the same issue here. The problem is that Canonical added Adobe Reader to the Partner repository and updated it to its newest version (9.1). The medibuntu Adobe Reader packages are at version 8.3 and somehow the packaging was done differently were the files were split between the two packages acroread and acroread-debian-files. What you need to do is remove acroread-debian-files which is no longer needed for the newest version of Adobe Reader and you'll be fine. What can be done to prevent this from happening when everyone upgrades to jaunty is to mark the "acroread-debian-files" package as incompatible with the acroread package which should automatically remove it when upgrading. -- package acroread 8.1.3-0medibuntu0.8.10.2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/acroread.1.gz', which is also in package acroread-debian-files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you please post the output of: "apt-cache policy acroread acroread-debian-files" I really don't think there is a bug here - it seems likely that you're trying to install conflicting software from 2 separate repositories. ** Changed in: acroread (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- package acroread 8.1.3-0medibuntu0.8.10.2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/acroread.1.gz', which is also in package acroread-debian-files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
