Ubuntu freecad-daily package will not install

Post by wearyhacker »

When I try to install freecad-daily from the freecad-daily ppa, I get the following error in the dpkg output.

Code: Select all

Preparing to unpack .../freecad-daily-runtime_0.19~pre1~201910050543~ubuntu19.04.1_all.deb ...
Unpacking freecad-daily-runtime (0.19~pre1~201910050543~ubuntu19.04.1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/freecad-daily-runtime_0.19~pre1~201910050543~ubuntu19.04.1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/freecad-daily/Mod/Arch/Presets/ifc_products_IFC2X3.json', which is also in package freecad-daily-common 0.19~pre1~201910050543~ubuntu19.04.1
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This leaves the package database in a state where nothing will run including the system updater process.

The only way I found to fix this was by running dpkg -P --force-all on all the freecad-daily packages shown in dpkg -l.

I would really like to run the daily build. Anyone got any ideas?

So hold tight, in the following days and weeks you should expect to see more daily updates, maybe with errors still. If you really need to use the latest code, probably the AppImage or self compilation (CompileOnUnix) is a better option at the moment.
