Am running Amarok Nightly on Ubuntu. So far, so good but today the update stopped installing. When I try, I get this message:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/amarok-nightly-kdelibs_20081113.7+svn883739-0neon1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/opt/amarok-nightly/share/kde4/servicetypes/plasma-scriptengine.desktop', which is also in package amarok-nightly

Is this an Amarok problem or an Ubuntu problem? I should add that everything else installs fine.

I'm having the exact same problem on Ubuntu 8.10. Some help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Yep, worked!

Any idea why this is happening?

I tried Mark's solution but all I got was this:

I'm tryin to install Amarok-Nightly for the first time, but when i use the code provided above, I get this error message:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/amarok-nightly-kdelibs_20081113.7+svn883739-0neon1_amd64.deb (--install):

And I can't install it. Any other ideas?

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/amarok-nightly*

This should work for everyone.

Thanks Mark. that worked for me.
