I am trying to install the latest Opera web browser on my Lucid x86_64 desktop computer. Currently Opera 9.20 is installed, which I did a long time ago by downloading the .deb file and installing it with gDebi or dpkg.
This evening I downloaded the latest .deb (11.61) and tried to install it. I got an error message that, although not very clear, led me to believe that it could not be installed without first removing 9.20. I also found instructions for adding the opera repository, which I did, and now Opera 11.61 is listed in Synaptic. But trying to install it with Synaptic results in the same error message. I can launch Opera 9.20 and it runs fine. But Opera 9.20 is not listed in Synaptic. "Aptitude show opera" says there is no such package. "Aptitude remove opera" says no packages are to be removed. WTH? How do I get rid of 9.20? How is it that I can launch and run a program that is not installed on the computer? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
