Edgy Upgrade, Synaptic Error Message

[arochester]

I upgraded from Dapper to Edgy. I followed the instructions to the letter. I only got part of the way. I've got new splash screens etc. but there are still programs which won't install - including Kubuntu Desktop!

Synaptic shows this Error Message

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libavahi-compat-libdnssd1_0.6.13-2ubuntu2_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libdns_sd.so.1', which is also in package bonjour

I've looked at these files and still can't figure out what to do

Hi,

If you're sure it's the version you want to install, then type this :

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libavahi-compat-libdnssd1_0.6.13-2ubuntu2_i386.deb

Hope it helps

Thank you very much for that sky.

What happened next was that my system would not load. Grub worked. I got a little of the loading line and then nothing at all...

Caught between Dapper and Edgy I salvaged what I could and headed for a new
install of Edgy.

So far, so good.

Sorry to hear that your upgrade was not really successful, just happy you're safe

Cheers
