Quick update question: libnspr4-0d?

**Culito** · July 4th, 2008

Hi folks,
I'm getting this message in my update manager lately:

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

The package libnspr4-0d can't install, So I can't fully update. Any ideas?

Thanks,
-C

I've been getting this too. Doesn't seem serious, but I would like to fix it.

I can also confirm that I'm getting this too.

EDIT: The following fixed it for me (see bug report on this issue):

Code:

sudo apt-get remove libnspr4 ; sudo apt-get install libnspr4-0d

that worked for me, but why was it happening in the first place? there may be many ubuntu users who have no idea about sudo apt-get install etc. the packaging should fixed to make this a smooth install.
