I'm trying to "pkcon update" it, and then maybe "pkcon upgrade" it. With pkcon update, I get the error: Fatal error: Error while installing package: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/kdesu.1.gz', which is also in package kde-runtime-data 4 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. run pkcon update OBSERVED RESULT pkcon runs for a little bit, then gives the following error and stops. Fatal error: Error while installing package: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/kdesu.1.gz', which is also in package kde-runtime-data 4 EXPECTED RESULT pkcon would run till the end, and the system would be updated. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: mono@gask:~$ plasmashell --version plasmashell 6.2.0 mono@gask:~$ kf5-config --version Qt: 5.15.14 KDE Frameworks: 5.113.0 kf5-config: 1.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Forgot to remove the part at the beginning. Not sure how to edit what I've submitted.
I did `sudo apt --fix-broken install` and then `pkcon update -v` again, and pkcon seems to be progressing I think. Very cool. I was able to get help at #kde on Libera chat or IRC. By the way. I think there was a telegram channel for KDE Neon, where I can chat and post issues like this one. I can't find it anymore. Has it been shut down? (according to what's mentioned here https://community.kde.org/Telegram )
pkcon showed the same error again with kdesu or kde-runtime-data or something. Fatal error: Error while installing package: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/kdesu.1.gz', which is also in package kde-runtime-data 4 This time, the `sudo apt --fix-broken install` command didn't work. But I got things moving forward another way. Following help from Libera chat or IRC, I went to this. https://discuss.kde.org/t/neon-plasma-6-0-pkcon-update-fatal-error/10644 And then I took a look at `/var/log/apt/term.log` with nano. Like below. nano /var/log/apt/term.log And then, I went on scrolling till near the end. And from what I found, I did: `sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-cli-tools-data_4%3a6.2.0-0zneon+22.04+jammy+release+build4_all.deb` ...as instructed by the link at kde discuss. ...and that got things moving forward again with pkcon. Yay : )
kde-runtime is an ancient, ancient deprecated package. can only imagine you have been upgrading this machine for quite a few cycles. either way, this shouldn't happen so have committed https://invent.kde.org/neon/kde/kde-cli-tools/-/commit/1179fe9167e0bcb671a8b95d4cb2527df24a8d6e to stop it from occurring again ;)
pkcon has finished the update and asked for a restart. Very cool : ) Also I think I found the Telegram channel I was looking for. https://telegram.me/kdeneon Even that I found. Today's a great day for me : )
Cool. Not sure I understand, but okay : )
