apt-get conflict with libjack0 and JACK

[martron88]

Hi all,

I just upgraded a number of packages and one that's refusing to finish is libjack0. So now apt-get is broken so I can't really install anything else until this is resolved. Basically libjack0 won't upgrade because it's trying to overwrite a file contained in the package jack-audio-connection-kit. This is probably happening because I installed a custom .deb a while ago that included some firewire stuff.

Anyway, I'm stuck at having this broken repository and would like to disable the upgrade of libjack or remove jack-audio-connection kit so that libjack0 can install properly. Here's what happens when I run "sudo apt-get -f install":

I'm not so up on apt-get syntax so if anyone has suggestions on how to force this to work right I'd appreciate suggestions.

Thanks

To remove jack-audio-connection-kit in a terminal

sudo apt-get remove jack-audio-connection-kit or

sudo apt-get remove --purge jack-audio-connection-kit to remove all the config files as well.Then

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgradeIf you still have a problem then try usig

I have the same problem. However, when I enter


sudo apt-get remove jack-audio-connection-kit

I get this:


Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
jackd: Depends: jack-audio-connection-kit (>= 1.8+svn3036ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
libjack0: Depends: jack-audio-connection-kit (>= 1.8+svn3036ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
libjack0.100.0-0: Depends: libjack0 (>= 1.9.0-0ubuntu1) but 1.8+svn3036ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


Typing
sudo apt-get -f install gives me this (I typed "y" twice):

Can anyone help me how to get rid of this conflict?
Thanks a lot!

try to override the file.

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libjack0_1.9.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb then
