Upgrading error

Thu Aug 15, 2019 6:47 am
Hello,

I have the following error at upgrade:

Fatal error: Error while installing package: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/kservices5/settings-system-administration.desktop', which is also in package kde-config-systemd 1.2.1-3ubuntu2

How could I find the reason and fix it?

Thank you.

Presumably you are using git-unstable builds. The reason is that in git master systemsettings is now providing that .desktop file

https://cgit.kde.org/systemsettings.git ... 8dfc17ccad

while the systemd-kcm source that makes kde-config-systemd has removed it in git master

https://cgit.kde.org/systemd-kcm.git/co ... 3a11856b3d

However, as Neon does not do builds of systemd-kcm you will have the version from the Ubuntu main archive that does not have that conflicting file removed.

For now you could perhaps force the file overwrite, as I think it doesn't matter which version you have.

I am checking with the Neon team about a longer term fix.

Hi,
Could you try sudo apt install -f (force installation), as was suggested by acheronuk?

Hi, it does not matter. The apt command will fix every installation when the -f (force) option is written.
Hope it help,

systemd-kcm got released some years ago but shouldn't have done since it's not been reviewed and set as stable by KDE. You'll probably need to remove it from your system.
