Package: mrxvt
Version: 0.5.2-1
Severity: normal
I started today with:
ii mrxvt 0.4.2-1
ii mrxvt-cjk 0.4.2-1
ii mrxvt-common 0.4.2-1
I then did an apt-get upgrade, and got the following error
message:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/mrxvt_0.5.2-1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
So I tried apt-get upgrade again, and this time got:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mrxvt: Depends: mrxvt-common (= 0.4.2-1) but 0.5.2-1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
So this time I apt-get -f install, and get:
The following extra packages will be installed:
mrxvt
The following packages will be upgraded:
mrxvt
...
Unpacking replacement mrxvt ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/mrxvt_0.5.2-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/etc/mrxvt/submenus.menu', which is also in
package mrxvt-cjk
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/mrxvt_0.5.2-1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
My next step was a bit more draconian:
apt-get --purge remove mrxvt-cjk mrxvt-common mrxvt
... which let my earlier apt-get upgrade finish to completion.
So now I attempt to re-install all three (mrxvt-cjk mrxvt-common
mrxvt) and still keep getting the error message:
$> apt-get install mrxvt mrxvt-cjk
...
Unpacking mrxvt-cjk (from .../mrxvt-cjk_0.5.2-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/mrxvt-cjk_0.5.2-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/etc/mrxvt/submenus.menu', which is also in
package mrxvt
So it seems there is a dependency problem between mrxvt and
mrxvt-common and the timing of their upgrades.
But also the upgrade failed when trying to overwrite
'/etc/mrxvt/submenus.menu', which is also supposedly used by
mrxvt-cjk.
So in the end it seems I cannot have both mrxvt and mrxvt-cjk
installed.
