lmce-media-identifier upgrade error

[Govo]

Hi Folks

Just ran an upgrade on 14.4 and lmce-media-identifier is giving the following error

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/lmce-media-identifier_2.0.0.47.16010531792_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/pluto/bin/External_Media_Identifier', which is also in package id-my-disc 1.8.ub1004
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/lmce-media-identifier_2.0.0.47.16010531792_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Fix for me was to

sudo apt-get remove --purge id-my-disc

sudo apt-get remove --purge lmce-media-identifier


sudo apt-get install lmce-media-identifier


Tried to re-install id-my-disc

get this error

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/id-my-disc_1.8.ub1004_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/pluto/bin/External_Media_Identifier', which is also in package lmce-media-identifier 2.0.0.47.16010531792

There seems to be a conflict of packages .

id-my-disk is an old package that we do not have source for. lmce-media-identifier is a rewrite that replaces id-my-disk - it does not yet cover all things id-my-disk did, but is a start that covers the CD

Hi Posde

Thanks for the feedback,  understood, maybe we can purge id-my-disc when running a sudo upgrade or is it remove from the latest snap shot?

Did you install 1404, or did you upgrade to 1404?

Hi posde

I instaledl 14.4 back in Dec 2015, I have it on a second hard drive which I booted up to day.

Then sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade.


I have just downloaded the latest snap shot, will give try it out later.
