Packages wedged in sarge - etch upgrade ( and apt-get vs. aptitude)
Trying to up grade a laptop from sarge to etch. First tried apt-get dist-upgrade and then tried aptitude dist-upgrade. Both are stopping when trying to install mozilla-mplayer, it seems: Aptitude reports: Errors were encountered while processing: mozilla-mplayer $ sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade 174 upgraded, 63 newly installed, 6 to remove and 3 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/87.6MB of archives. After unpacking 89.2MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y Extracting templates from packages: 100% Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... 34703 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking mplayer (from .../mplayer_1.0~rc1-12etch_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/mplayer_1.0~rc1-12etch_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/mplayer', which is also in package mplayer-586 dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/mplayer_1.0~rc1-12etch_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Any way to tell it to skip or remove mplayer for now? Second question -- why does running Aptitude download additional packages compared with apt-get dist-upgrade? Do they calculate dependencies differently? Seems like there should only be one dependency tree for the packages I have installed. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
