Update Manager error (libnspr4)

[siloko]

Hello,

I have a persistant error after the last routine update which prevents a package installing - the apt error is:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libnspr4-0d_4.7.1+1.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.2_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libnspr4.so', which is also in package libnspr4

I have tried sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a but the same problem remains.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

It's telling you that your current libnspr4 library is *conflicting* with the package you are trying to install.

Solution:

sudo apt-get remove libnspr4
sudo dpkg --install libnspr4-0d_4.7.1+1.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.2_i386.deb
