I found a workaround by running the following: sudo dpkg --force-all -r byobu
This kills the package forcibly. Then I ran sudo aptitude install byobu to get to the newest version. This appears to fix the issue. I can now install other packages and it doesn't complain about byobu anymore. -- Upgrade to byobu 2.6 fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381818 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
