Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
Hi,
I'm upgrading an up-to-date Hardy chroot, with firefox 3.0 installed:
apt-cache policy firefox-3.0
firefox-3.0:
Installed: 3.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
Candidate: 3.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
Version table:
*** 3.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
when upgrading to Lucid, I'm getting an error when installing firefox-branding,
because of firefox.desktop file:
...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/firefox-branding_3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop', which is also
in package firefox-3.0 0:3.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/firefox-branding_3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This is because firefox-branding should Conflicts/Replaces Firefox-3.0.
