I don't think moving to the maverick set of repos will fix this. The repos have been moved forward from one release to another without any additional work.
So if there is a maverick repo set it will probably have the same problem. So given that.... This is a collision between repos. You already have binutils-avr, gcc-avr, and avrdude installed. So when you try to install avr-binutils-tinyos, avr-gcc-tinyos, and avrdude-tinyos there is a conflict. The problem with the stuff in the tinyos repos is it is old hasn't been updated in a while. You could remove the already installed binutils-avr, gcc-avr, and avrdude. Then install the tinyos repos. Then I think you can upgrade the packages using the binutils-avr, gcc-avr, and avrdude from the net. If that doesn't work you can force the overwrite using dpkg -i --force-overwrite <...deb> You will need the .deb file from the net. eric On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 1:52 PM, Joey Wilson <[email protected]> wrote: > Here's the exact error I get in synaptic: > > E: /var/cache/apt/archives/avr-binutils-tinyos_2.17-20080812_amd64.deb: > trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/avr-objcopy', which is also in package > binutils-avr 2.20.1-1ubuntu2 > E: /var/cache/apt/archives/avr-gcc-tinyos_4.1.2-20080812_amd64.deb: trying > to overwrite '/usr/bin/avr-gcov', which is also in package gcc-avr 1 > E: /var/cache/apt/archives/avrdude-tinyos_5.4-20080812_amd64.deb: trying to > overwrite '/usr/bin/avrdude', which is also in package avrdude 5.10-3 > > I used the "lucid" software source since there is not one for maverick yet. > > > On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 6:26 PM, Eric Decker <[email protected]> wrote: > >> what exactly does it say? >> >> >> On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 3:22 PM, Joey Wilson <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> All, >>> >>> I am having a problem installing TinyOS 2.1.1 on Ubuntu 10.10.
