Re: Can either install digikam or krita

I can think of a couple of ways to do this. One way is to install one app, then move x-raw.desktop to a safe place in case you need it again. You should be able to install the other app after that.

The other way would be to install the second package using dpkg with the --forceoverwrite option.
