I hope that I'm not posting this plea for help in the wrong area.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex). I have Version 2.0-SVN-Neon installed and everything is working as fine as can be expected.

I received a notice in my update manager that a nightly build was ready to be installed. Attempting to install the newest build though results in my receiving the following error.


E: /var/cache/apt/archives/amarok-nightly-kdesupport_20090407+svn950472-0neon1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/opt/amarok-nightly/share/icons/oxygen/256x256/status/user-trash-full.png', which is also in package amarok-nightly-kdebase


I'm not quite sure what to do at this point. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

There seems to be a problem with the current build. You have two solutions: either be patient and hope it's getting fixed soon or else check with the Neon people on their mailing list:

http://groups.google.com/group/amarok-neon?hl=en

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction.

I think I'll take both options. I'll check with the mailing list AND I'll be patient.

In general with such issues (they will reappear from time to time):

"sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite" is your friend.
