[SOLVED] Broken packages

Noobtopro · 04-01-2017, 07:50 AM

I have some broken packages which I tried to fix with

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install

and it tries to install package called libopenthreads20 and got this as the output

Code:

Unpacking libopenthreads20:amd64 (3.2.3+dfsg1-2+openmw~trusty4) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libopenthreads20_3.2.3+dfsg1-2+openmw~trusty4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenThreads.so.3.2.1', which is also in package libopenthreads14:amd64 3.2.3+dfsg1-2+openmw~trusty3
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

What is the problem?

Hi...

The results you posted indicate you may have used "-o" rather than "-a" in the command that Keruskerfuerst suggested. You may also need to use the "sudo" prefix before the command, as mentioned here.

No I used "a" just tried again and even using sudo did not help

Hi...

Please refrain from using profanity, in part because folks of all ages use this forum. Thanks!

Hi Noobtopro.

I think the first thing we should do is check your software sources (the list of repositories that you get your packages from).

Please paste the output from inxi -r (if you don't have inxi installed, do so with sudo apt-get install inxi).

Also, please let us know which distro (and version) you are running.

Many thanks.

Thank you all for your replies. I fixed it by downloading libopenthreads20:i386 from software manager. Have no idea how it fixed that but that doesn't really matter at least not for me.
