Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xarchon
When using synaptic to install package xarchon 0.50-9build1, synaptic marks the package xarchon-theme-default (same version #) as a required dependency. However, when installing, an error occurs. The terminal output is: " Selecting previously deselected package xarchon-theme-default. Unpacking xarchon-theme-default (from .../xarchon-theme- default_0.50-9build1_all.deb) ... Unpacking xarchon (from .../xarchon_0.50-9build1_powerpc.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xarchon_0.50-9build1_powerpc.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/games/xarchon/archon/actors/light/archer/move.right.0.xpm', which is also in package xarchon-theme-default dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/xarchon_0.50-9build1_powerpc.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Setting up xarchon-theme-default (0.50-9build1) ... " Also, synaptic generates the following error window: " E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xarchon_0.50-9build1_powerpc.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/games/xarchon/archon/actors/light/archer/move.right.0.xpm', which is also in package xarchon-theme-default " The end result is that xarchon-theme-default is installed, but the xarchon game package itself is not. Synaptic reflects this -- xarchon remains marked for installation, while xarchon-theme-default is marked as already installed. ** Affects: xarchon (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Installation of package fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/52485 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
