update to 1.7.3 in Lucid gives error message

[Jan Schürmann]

Binary package hint: banshee

the update from 1.7.1 to 1.7.3 in Lucid doesn't work, gives always this error message:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/banshee_1.7.3-1ubuntu1~hyper1+lucid_amd64.deb: Versuche, »/usr/share/mime/packages/amazonmp3.xml« zu überschreiben, welches auch in Paket amazonmp3 0

Could you "export LANG=C" and try again in the same terminal? I cannot
understand that language.

i don't know what you mean, so i translate it on my own.

Marking invalid. It seems to conflict with a package that does not exist in the Ubuntu archives.

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Actually, upon closer inspection, it seems packages are supposed to name the .xml files they install into /usr/share/mime/packages after themselves.

I manually edited my /usr/share/mime/packages/amazonmp3.xml to the attached file and changed the file permissions with no luck.

apt-get output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/472496/

Hi Folks,

sorry for my bad english. I solved the problem for my configuration: deinstall the old amazonmp3-package (from amazon.com - this version was for ubuntu 8.04) and try again to install banshee_1.7.3.

Hope that works!

Regards

eska

eska, that did not fix it for me.

I purged that program and deleted "/usr/share/mime/packages/amazonmp3.xml" and "/usr/share/mime-info/amazonmp3.keys" and "/usr/share/mime-info/amazonmp3.mime". I am still unable to install banshee 1.7.3

If you still get the message about file conflicts, do "dpkg -S
/usr/share/mime/packages/amazonmp3.xml".
