Hello, I can't exactly remember how I managed to create this duplication (something about rpm segfault'ing wrt the glibc version during the install of one of those packages, and stuff like that), but anyway, here it goes :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-get install spamassassin Processing File Dependencies... Done Reading Package Lists... Error! E: There are two or more versions of the package 'binutils' installed in your system, which is a situation APT can't handle cleanly at the moment. Please do one of the following: 1) Remove the older packages, leaving only one version installed; or 2) If you do want to have multiple versions of that package, add the package names to the RPM::AllowedDupPkgs option. E: Error occured while processing binutils (UsePackage2) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/rpm/Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# rpm -qa |grep binutils binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9 binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# rpm -e binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9 error: "binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9" specifies multiple packages [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# What could I do to solve my problem? I have taken a look at the files in /var/lib/rpm but those are binaries I don't feel like editing by hand. Also rpm --rebuilddb / initdb don't change anything. And there are no files beginning with "__" in the rpm dir (I remember reading something about removing them, but there aren't any.) Thanks in advance for any hints :) Olivier -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
