I was able to restore what appeared to be a broken Jaunty installation after receiving this error. In my case, the system would freeze waiting for the gdm login to appear. In order to gain access to another terminal or login prompt, I had to have it boot without the splash, either by removing it as a kernel option or booting into failsafe from the grub menu.
This error prevented other packages from finishing. On a whim, I ran apt-get with the autoremove command which finished setting up about 50 packages. Afterwards, gdm would launch or start without fail. -- package libcanberra-gtk0 0.6-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play', which is also in package libcanberra-gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
