2 versions of iproute ?
 

Hi all

Not sure how this happend,

I ran "apt-get upgrade" then it started downloading all the latest updates.
as it got to iproute i closed the terminal window by mistake,

Now when i run apt-get install, I get an error saying
2versions of iprroute were found on the system, please run apt-get update to correct fault.

I run apt-get update, and I still get the same error,

any ideas ?


thanks

You probably have the broken version sitting alongside the old version. First thing to do is to remove the broken version, apt-get uninstall iproute. It will probably ask you which version you want to get rid of - so choose wisely!

Then try the apt-get upgrade again.

Hi there im still having problems with my iproute, its driving me nuts, im contemplating installing red hat again to overcome this problem,

I run apt-get remove iproute and get,
root@localhost loppy1]# apt-get remove iproute

W: There are multiple versions of "iproute" in your system.

This package won't be cleanly updated, unless you leave
only one version. To leave multiple versions installed,
you may remove that warning by setting the following
option in your configuration file:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^iproute$"; };

To disable these warnings completely set:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false";

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems


I have run the apt-get update, and this doesnt fix the problem, can anyone help?

Thanks
