Moved: This thread is more suitable in linux-newbie and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.
Have you tried using google? Basically ntfs-3g is the driver (and ftype used to mount a ntfs partition) and ntfsprogs are a collection of utilities to manipulate the filesystem. |
then why is there conflict?
google returned this: "..the ntfs-3g package currently conflicts/replaces/provides ntfsprogs." ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627823 ) so they are not so 'independent'. and it seems to be debian bug, so I believe debian sub forum was the right place. |
Based on the amount of information provided in your first post ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs are not the same thing and independent of the distribution.
The developers of ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g have merged and so the bug report from what I can conclude was how to setup the packages. The latest ntfsprogs use fuse and AFAIK compatable with ntfs-3g. |
