Package "libkpim5gapi5-data" failed to upgrade

Hello everybody!

After the last “System upgrade”, one package failed to upgrade and received the following error:
“Failed to update 1 package
Error while installing package: trying to overwrite ‘/usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/libkgapi_qt.qm’, which is also in package libkpimgapi5-data 23.08.5-0zneon+24.04+noble+release+build1”

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Yup. We’re in the same boat.

I filled out a bug report on this issue today 11/9/24. i will re post any replys here if anything new comes up. I have the same problem.

The fix posted here works. Thank you Guss77 for the solution and to Daniel_Bull for posting it.

Yes same here.
Looks like some sort of dependency conflict.
Hopefully they can sort it or find a solution.

Looks like there’s a related thread here with a similar (but not the same) problem. It does have a potential solution though…

Thank you! That solution solved this issue for me too! :grinning:

Thank you! I hope too! :pray:

Huh. I ran the same commands and it did not fix the problem. I have the same error message after logging in (an alert on the desktop that starts with "Failed Offline Update).

I still have the login problem that sounds like what was described in the related Discuss thread, which is that my laptop plugged into an external monitor always presents two login boxes, one on the laptop screen and one on the monitor. I always logged in using the one on the monitor. After the 6.2 update and the Ubuntu rebase, the one on the monitor doesn’t log me in (nothing happens) but I can login using the one of the laptop. If this is an unrelated issue, I will start a thread about this login problem.

I have the same issue.
I was suspecting about the graphic pen…actually it seems it’s unrelated.

Probably you can write your issue there.

Thank you, marcatore. I’ve replied to your post there. I do have the same trouble.

There is still an open bug report and this problem is being looked into.

I just want to reverse this by saying that I’m not getting the error message now. I got it once after applying the fix, but after a couple of reboots over the past two days I’m not getting the error. So, the fix has fixed me, too.
