Hi,
I dist-upgraded my Woody system today after several weeks. I had 217 upgraded packages, 180MB to get. After downloading everything, it failed like this: Preparing to replace libusb-dev 1:0.1.4-2 (using .../libusb-dev_1%3a0.1.5-4_i386 .deb) ...^M Unpacking replacement libusb-dev ...^M dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libusb-dev_1%3a0.1.5-4_i386.deb ( --unpack):^M trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libusb.la', which is also in package libusb0^M Errors were encountered while processing:^M /var/cache/apt/archives/libusb-dev_1%3a0.1.5-4_i386.deb^M E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)^M To get anything done, I went into dselect, put libusb-dev on hold, ran 'apt-get -f dist-upgrade' again and everything was okay (well, sort of, I now have really small, cruddy looking fonts, and XEmacs no longer lets me read mail with vm, but that is another story). I then used dselect to unhold libusb-dev, still the same problem. It seems that libusb-dev needs libusb-0.1.4, which replaces libusb0. I was able to purge libusb0, and then everything worked out. Any one know what the problem with libusb-0.1.4 is? Cheers! Shyamal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
