Hello,

Really new to Linux. I'm on 7.10 tribe 5 and found the same problem last night. I'm on Intel Centrino so it can't be AMD. Feels like catch 22. Surely root would have permission to overwrite?

Do you know how to remove CREDITS.txt?

Dear Mark,

You have to open a terminal (Select Applications>Accessories>Terminal
from your menu). Issue the commands
xxxx@yyyy$ cd /usr/share/doc/libsys2
xxxx@yyyy$ sudo rm CREDITS.txt
This should remove the "CREDITS.txt" file and then issue
xxxx@yyyy$ sudo aptitude --force install cupsys
This should force cupsys to install and overwrite the "CREDITS.txt"
Hope this resolves the problem as it has done for me.

Hi Thanks for that, I had already resolved by forcing the install anyway but was just following the crash report footpath, I had the same with Gimp as well the day before. When I got to choose if my bug was related to one already reported I click the radio button to say that it was so I could confirm that my fix was the right one.

It is still good to know that there are helpful people out there!!
