PyChess

Trying to install PyChess from the deb package on the site. There are two debs with no clear information on which to use. I tried the longer which came up with three unmet dependencies. Now the shorter one states:

Code:

trying to overwrite '/usr/share/locale/is/LC_MESSAGES/pychess.mo', which is also in package python3-pychess 0.12.4-1

It must have tried to install because now I have that annoying red dot in the icon bar in Ubuntu 16.04 that says a package has unmet dependencies.

I tried dpkg -i with both debs.

Well a simple apt-get -f install solved the problem. Going to leave this thread open as I have further questions.

What is the difference between the two deb files?

What command would I use to install the other deb file so it doesn't try to overwrite the file listed above?

pychess_0.12.4-1_all.deb
python3-pychess_0.12.4-1_all.deb

The first will use python version 2, whilst the second will require python version 3.
