Memperbaiki Error DPKG "TRYING TO OVERWRITE X WHICH IS ALSO IN PACKAGE Y" Di Ubuntu

Andrew dari Webupd6 memberikan tips mengatasi Error DPKG "TRYING TO OVERWRITE X WHICH IS ALSO IN PACKAGE Y" di Ubuntu. Error ini biasanya terjadi saat install atau upgrade aplikasi.

Contoh kasus 1

Unpacking replacement smplayer ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/smplayer_0.6.9+svn3595-1ppa1~maverick1_i386.deb (--unpack):

trying to overwrite '/usr/share/smplayer/translations/smplayer_eu.qm', which is also in package smplayer-translations 0.6.9-1

dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Contoh kasus 2

sudo apt-get install dockmanager

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Unpacking dockmanager (from .../dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_amd64.deb) ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_amd64.deb (--unpack):

trying to overwrite '/usr/share/dockmanager/data/skype_invisible.svg', which is also in package faenza-icon-theme 0.8

dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Errors were encountered while processing:

/var/cache/apt/archives/dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_amd64.deb

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Cara Memperbaikinya

Untuk memperbaikinya (dalam banyak kasus), caranya adalah perhatikan alur jalan (path) file tersebut. Untuk kasus 1 alurnya adalah "/var/cache/apt/archives/smplayer_0.6.9+svn3595-1ppa1~maverick1_i386.deb" kemudian atasi dengan menjalankan perintah:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/smplayer_0.6.9+svn3595-1ppa1~maverick1_i386.deb

Bila perintah "--force-overwrite" gagal, coba gunakan "--force-all".

Perintah diatas bila alur jalan (path)-nya sama. Bila menginstall melalui repository maka file .deb ada di /var/cache/apt/archives

Perintah-perintah diatas adalah untuk mengatasi masalah bila 2 paket aplikasi menyebabkan terjadinya error. Untuk memastikan aplikasi terinstall dengan sukses, jalankan perintah:

sudo apt-get install -f
