Binary package hint: filelight-l10n

When I try to install filelight and filelight-l10n (first filelight-l10n and then filelight) apt-get get me an error.

use english error message in title. Obviously there too many files included in the base package which causes the i10n package to fail to install.

[Dominik Stadler (dominik-stadler)]

However I cannot reproduce this any more, can you run the following to show which package provides the conflicting file for you:

dpkg -S /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/da/filelight/index.docbook

The title is automatic. Filelight fails and it reports automatically of bug.
The situation is simple:
apt-get install filelight --> no problem
apt-get install filelight-i18n --> error:

Do you understand now the bug?

Not of all,

dpkg -S /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/da/filelight/index.docbook returns the same. But I think it's not important because I have not installed filelight-l10n (because it does not allow)

Ok, I think I found why I don't see this. This is only happening in older versions of Ubuntu, as far as I see only hardy has this problem and it was fixed starting in Intrepid. So one option of solving this for you would be to upgrade your version of Ubuntu (be aware, this will change many other packages as well with good or bad side-effects!).

Alternatively you can try to manually download and install the newer filelight-package with the following steps in a terminal:

 cd /tmp
 http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/filelight/filelight_1.0-2ubuntu2_i386.deb
 sudo dpkg -i filelight_1.0-2ubuntu2_i386.deb

Afterwards installing the filelight-i10n package should work.

Setting to fix-released in filelight as newer versions do not show this problem any more, the "hardy backports" product decides if it should be backported to hardy to also provide a fix there.

dpkg: problemes de dependències impedeixen la configuració de filelight:
 filelight depèn de libxi6 (>= 2:1.1.3-1ubuntu1); tot i així:
  La versió del paquet «libxi6» al sistema és 2:1.1.3-1.
dpkg: s'ha produït un error en processar filelight (--install):
 problemes de dependències - es deixa sense configurar
S'han trobat errors en processar:
 filelight

That is (translating) libxi6 dependency is 1.1.3-1ubuntu1 and I have 1.1.3-1. So I have to wait to backports.

Thanks,
Xan.

And yes, I run 8.04
