Re: Acroread Update Error
The solution is to completely remove Acroread then re-install then the offending package that is preventing the new version 9 to complete... -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

Thanks! I removed acroread and setup mozplugger...works a treat. Now why isn't this the default option for Firefox in Ubuntu? -- SIMON IVES www.simonives.info - Please consider the environment before printing this email or any attachments.

Re: Acroread Update Error
Thanks all. I removed the acroread package and reinstalled it...worked fine. @Dave - I do use evince, and think everyone should. The main reason that I use acroread is for the browser plugin. Centrelink and my Bank use PHP generated PDF files. You can't download these things (I don't know how anyway). The only way I've been able to open such documents is with the acroread browser plugin. If anyone knows a way around this I'd be glad to hear it.

The second way uses a sledge hammer to force the update on your machine. Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: Acroread Update Error
Hi simon, It's a package level error not a file error. The package says i have these files and another package says i have these files, the package manager looks at both and sees that the same file is in both and does not know what one has the right version of the file so it is giving out that error. This is from a package not in the main ubuntu repositories? you probably have this kind of problem because you have one or many repositories that both contain a package with the same name, you probably started with a version from repo1 which had the program split into sub packages and the sub packages are slightly different in another repo and one version contains this file and another version has things different. You are basically in the debian equivelent of "rpm hell". You probably need to go to ether aptitude or synaptic and try and resolve the versions yourself, perhaps you can choose a different version of this pakcage or a related package that all comes from the same repository that would not have this problem as they would be packaged to be compatable with eachother. the other way is to completely remove this package and related packages and then install them again but you still may have the same problems as you still have conflicting repositories. hope this helps. --- On Fri, 17/4/09, Simon Ives wrote: From: Simon Ives Subject: Acroread Update Error To: ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com Received: Friday, 17 April, 2009, 7:55 AM Hi all. I'm having an issue updating the package acroread.

I'm using intrepid on an Asus Eee PC 701SD and attempting to upgrade through the package manager's GUI.
