to update regularly. But since the last update a couple of days ago this doesn’t work anymore. Instead I get a fatal error:
Fatal error: Error while installing package: Versuch, »/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt6Concurrent.so.6« zu überschreiben, welches auch in Paket libqt6concurrent6t64
It is packaging error no two files are supposed to exist in different packages. They are supposed to be unique the proper solution is to check/file bug if when checked it does not exist. Then waiting for the fixed package to be uploaded with the fix made and everything will be back to normal. The down and dirty hack
sudo apt -o Dpkg::Options::=“–force-overwrite” install package-name which forces apt to overwrite the file ignoring the error. This can work or can lead to disaster you get to flip the coin when using it.
Since I am not a teckie I think to wait a little longer and may be then going to install a fresh kde neon. Almost all important files are in my cloud so this way is something I could do during a foggy sunday afternoon
That should not be necessary, it has been long enough a fixed package should have been uploaded fixing the error. Give updating a try again and see if has happened.
However, that’s what I thought, too - to wait and try the update again and again. During the last three years I had something like that a couple of times and just waiting with the upgrade and doing it again helped. But twice it didn’t - both times after a major upgrade. Last time and this time.
Since this problem came up this time I tried a new upgrade every day but with no success.
But, you know it’s not a big deal. I love kde! And it is for free - so if the cost on my side is a new installation, say, every three years or so I still would call it a great software and worth to go with it
If it gets to that point for a re-install give the force-overwrite a try. It works most of the time in fact on the few occasions I have had to use it it has never failed me. This is better than complete new install if successfully done.
Nah you want the name of the package that includes the file, not the file name when using that command. To get the package name install apt-file then apt-file update and apt-file search x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt6Concurrent.so.6.7.2 to find the package that contains that path/file in it.
Edit: Now I look at the first post the package could be libqt6concurrent6t64 though not sure my knowledge of German is next to nothing.
Damn always hate to see a disk die off, I had one go on me couple of months ago. Then had to go through big hassle to get them scumbags to replace it under warranty. At least half dozen phone calls and god knows how many email to get it done. You too have a good Christmas.
Thank you very much for you help … but it was too late. My Disk crashed and died so I have to exchange it against a new one … with a new installation
