Unpacking libbullet2.79 (from .../libbullet2.79_2.79.1-ubuntu1~natty1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libbullet2.79_2.79.1-ubuntu1~natty1_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libBulletCollision.so', which is also in package libbullet 2.78-0
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libbullet2.79_2.79.1-ubuntu1~natty1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Any idea why this isn't working? I've tried apt-get clean all as well but it didn't help.
Do 'dpkg -l | grep bullet' to make sure there isn't libbullet 2.78-0.
Also, is libBulletCollision.so actually present in /usr/lib/ now? If it is, is its modification time the same time you did the last install attempt at?
I made sure I removed the old version of libbullet with dpkg and then purged it. Then I restarted, ran apt-get clean all and apt-get -f install and that fixed it. Thanks for the help!
