Yesterday I received a one liner which I thought was repaired however,
A few minutes ago I received this;

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libkf5purpose5_1.1+p16.04+git20160930.1710-0_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5PurposeWidgets.so.5.27.0', which is also in package libkf5purposewidgets5:amd64 1.1+p16.04+git20160920.1111-0

well, both political candidates are touting that they are going to tweet about the vp debate tonight and I thought I'd install a twitter candidate.

Corebird would not install and gave the aforementioned broken package as a reason.

The only other app in the repos is choqok so I thought i'd use terminal and got a wad of stuff that needed to be autoremoved.

Ok........

so I did the autoremove and I guess the aforementioned was buried in it somewhere because when I then installed choqok and did a reload the above was not listed as a broken package.

A subsequent attempt to install Corebird, did, indeed, install the app,

Both are functional.

Well, I was apparently wrong.

I just received this after an update:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libkf5purpose5_1.1+p16.04+git20160930.1710-0_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5PurposeWidgets.so.5.27.0', which is also in package libkf5purposewidgets5:amd64 1.1+p16.04+git20160920.1111-0

Looking around in the IRC's I found this

https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2015/06/08/% ... devel.html

and searching within the IRC I found two items by Riddell by using this search term

libKF5PurposeWidgets

With this omment:

Riddell, libkf5purposewidgets package and libkf5purpose-data package, 19:31 ... these files get built but not put in any .deb package, 19:47.

From what I can gather the package is "mainly" an .rpm.

no clue, just what I found.

still getting it, i've tried "removing" it but Synaptic want's to put it back.

At first, I thought that possibly there was text in the file that I could change, but then after I deleted and it came back the same, the idea didn't seem logical.

As of an update on the date of 14 October 2016, at 3:43 A.M. Central Time U.S.A. there are no broken packages after two more updates.

i will attempt to mark this thread solved.

Thank you DEVS!!
