Warning: This answer is dangerous and may lead to a broken system (because this will effectively install the package but new problems may arise when both the packages try to use the same library/file/binary). Use Avinash Raj’s answer instead. Also consider reporting a bug for both conflicting packages.

You have to force overwrite the files causing issues:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite <file-path>

In your case it would be:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libjline-java_1.0-1_all.deb

Check that everything is fixed by running:

sudo apt-get --fix-broken install

If you still have problems, rerun the first step with any of the dpkg: error processing (...) remaining.

Please don’t go for the danjjl answer directly, if you face this kind of «trying to overwrite» error, is likely that you have conflicting packages that need to be solved first.

The immediate fix for the issue is to remove the conflicting package that is undesirable, in this case scala,

sudo dpkg -P scala

Next it would be recommended to submit a bug report with the respective package maintainers. This normally imply adding a Conflict: package line in the control file.

Also see this answer for more detailed explanation about this error.

@danjjl’s command works for .deb files. I found this command works with apt/apt-get:

sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install <package-name>

Not sure that is a global fix as I had the same issue, but with a libglx-mesa file in the cache conflicting with Nvidia-390. I removed the file and issued an apt install -f -y, let that finished and then proceeded with the apt update, upgrade and autoremove in that sequence.

I got the error while executing an apt dist-upgrade on Ubuntu 18.04 and continued the process again, no more issues and that seemed to be «my» fix.

Commands:

sudo su -
mv /var/cache/apt/archives/libglx-mesa0_18.0.0~rc5-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb ~
apt install -f -y
apt update -y
apt upgrade -y
apt autoremove -y
apt dist-upgrade

PS: Forcing an overwrite was a bad idea that I tried and I got lucky. But it’s better to find the root cause, and fix it. I still have to investigate but the error lead me to move the file out the way.

So dpkg --force-overwrite is the hacky workaround that has been presented here in various forms. But dpkg-divert(8) is the intended way to handle this situation.

For Debian, Ubuntu, etc., let aptitude handle it for you`:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install aptitude

sudo aptitude install my_package_name
# Then choose the necessary options. Ex: for me I choose No, Yes, Yes,
# to choose to downgrade the troublesome package. Then it installs and
# works!

APT/DPKG error because of fileoverwrite

Let’s see how to solve the problem of apt or dpkg failing to install packages due to errors like the following. This is happening because the new package you are trying to install is overwriting a file that is part of another installed package.

dpkg_error trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libldacBT_enc.so.2.0.2.3', which is also in package libldac:amd64 2.0.2.3~r26478861

How to resolve the “trying to overwrite” Issue?

There are multiple solutions below based on when the error occurred. If you got the issue while running an apt command, then check the apt section. If it happened while running a dpkg command, then check the dpkg section.

With DPKG

If the error occurred while you were executing the apt command, then use the command as follows. 

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite theDebYouWantToInstall.deb
sudo apt-get --fix-broken install

This command will install the deb file with file overwriting when needed.

With APT

If the error occurred while you were executing the dpkg command, then use the command as follows. 

sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" [YourAptActionCommand]

#An Example
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" dist-upgrade

#Another Example
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" apt-get install nmap

This command will install the deb file with file overwriting when needed.

Sometimes when installing / upgrading a package, you get an error about it trying to overwrite some file which is also found in some other package and this results in a error that won’t let you install / upgrade that package. I don’t know about you, but I get this kind of errors quite often (most probably because I’m running bleeding-edge software but that’s another story).

In most cases, such errors occur when some file was moved from one package to another in a newer version. Here is an example of such an error:

Unpacking replacement smplayer ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/smplayer_0.6.9+svn3595-1ppa1~maverick1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/smplayer/translations/smplayer_eu.qm', which is also in package smplayer-translations 0.6.9-1
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Here’s another example:

sudo apt-get install dockmanager
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  dockmanager
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/dockmanager/data/skype_invisible.svg', which is also in package faenza-icon-theme 0.8
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The fix

Fixing this (in most cases but probably not all) is quite simple: look for path of the file that caused the error — in my first example that would be «/var/cache/apt/archives/smplayer_0.6.9+svn3595-1ppa1~maverick1_i386.deb», an run the following command:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/smplayer_0.6.9+svn3595-1ppa1~maverick1_i386.deb

If «—force-overwrite» doesn’t work, you can try «—force-all» instead.

In the above command, replace «/var…» with the exact path to the .deb that caused the error on your computer. If you’ve installed it from a repository, the .deb is located in /var/cache/apt/archives but if not, it’s wherever you’ve downloaded it (either way, the error should display its exact path so you don’t have to look for it manually).

What the above command does is force the overwrite of the file that exists in 2 packages and caused the error. Then, to make sure all the packages have installed successfully, also run the following command:

sudo apt-get install -f

  • [ubuntu] dpkg error while apt-get upgrade trying to overwrite files

  1. Question dpkg error while apt-get upgrade trying to overwrite files

    Code:

    (Reading database ... 138025 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../init-system-helpers_1.29ubuntu4_all.deb ...
Unpacking init-system-helpers (1.29ubuntu4) over (1.29ubuntu3) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/init-system-helpers_1.29ubuntu4_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d', which is also in package sysv-rc 2.88dsf-59.3ubuntu2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/init-system-helpers_1.29ubuntu4_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    I cannot seem to fix this. I was going to just upgrade my packages, but for some reason, I am getting all kinds of errors. The first error I got was related to . Some forums recommended I put it on hold, so I did. But then another I got a similar error, but with a different package.

    How do I systematically fix this?

    I am running Ubuntu 16.04 server edition.

    Thanks in advance.

  2. Re: dpkg error while apt-get upgrade trying to overwrite files

    You need to force overwriting of the files causing the errors:

    Code:

    $ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/init-system-helpers_1.29ubuntu4_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get -f install

    /path/to/Truth

  3. Re: dpkg error while apt-get upgrade trying to overwrite files

    I gently suggest against using —force-overwrite as the first solution.
    Without understanding the problem, down that path lies a thoroughly borked system and reinstall.

    The proximate cause of the problem is that you have two packages (init-system-helpers and sysv-rc) that conflict. You cannot not have both installed at the same time…unless you force them.
    Each release of Ubuntu is carefully designed and QA’d specifically to minimize conflicts like this. Something deeper is wrong.

    There are a couple possible underlying causes:
    Maybe they are intended for different releases of Ubuntu…or Debian.
    Maybe one or both is from a shoddy PPA or other Non-Ubuntu source.

    99.9% of the time in this forum, the problem is caused by USER CHOICES. The system is not being capricious. It’s not a bug. It’s not a design flaw.
    You must determine which of your habits is (unintentionally) telling the computer to do something impossible. Change that habit — it’s not helping you.
    Then you won’t have the problem anymore.

  4. Re: dpkg error while apt-get upgrade trying to overwrite files

    I would be interested in removing either packages, but I am not exactly sure which package is relevant. Am I just to remove init-system-helpers or sysv-rc?
    So, I am agreement with being against —force-overwrite.

    I did upgrade from a 14.04 LTS image. So, either one of those packages might be left over from 14.04?

  6. Re: dpkg error while apt-get upgrade trying to overwrite files

    diskmaster23; Well ..

    As I pass by .
    Both are needed:

    sysop@x1604:~$ apt list init-system-helpers
    Listing… Done
    init-system-helpers/xenial-updates,xenial-updates,now 1.29ubuntu4 all [installed]
    N: There is 1 additional version. Please use the ‘-a’ switch to see it
    sysop@x1604:~$ apt list sysv-rc
    Listing… Done
    sysv-rc/xenial,xenial,now 2.88dsf-59.3ubuntu2 all [installed]
    sysop@x1604:~$

    The question of the why the conflict; what is the origin of the packages that the package manager is complaining of ?
    show:

    Code:

    apt policy init-system-helpers sysv-rc

  7. Re: dpkg error while apt-get upgrade trying to overwrite files

  8. Re: dpkg error while apt-get upgrade trying to overwrite files

    diskmaster23; Hummmm ..

    We have an older version of init-system-helpers installed, trying to get to the later version .
    And there is this:

    sysop@x1604:~$ apt show init-system-helpers sysv-rc
    Package: init-system-helpers
    Version: 1.29ubuntu4
    Priority: required
    Section: admin
    Origin: Ubuntu
    <snip>

    A system file !. and I get real real careful ! My caution brakes are on hard .

    Let’s take a less invasive gentle poke at it —

    Code:

    sudo apt install --reinstall init-system-helpers

    See how the package manager responds ( maybe a bit of cleaning ??)

    safety is no accident

Error: trying to overwrite foo, which is also in package bar

This is an example of an apt-get error caused by a file conflict, and how to resolve it:

Unpacking replacement kdebase-libs ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-libs_4%3a2.2.2-14_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite /usr/share/applnk/Settings/Sound/arts.desktop', which is also in package kdebase
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-libs_4%3a2.2.2-14_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This happens because somebody made a bonehead packaging error, or a graceless transition of including a file in one package rather than the other. The fix is as follows:

  1. Note down the names of the two packages that are both trying to claim ownership of the same file. In this case, package kdebase-libs is trying to update a file previously installed by package kdebase.
  2. Stop and think for a moment about what’s probably happening: A reasonable guess is that «arts.desktop» has simply been moved to kdebase-libs, and your package database is being mulish because it doesn’t know this is OK.

  3. Do a «—force-overwrite» install of the new package, thus: 

     dpkg -i --force-overwrite kdebase-libs_4%3a2.2.2-14_i386.deb

  4. Recall and resubmit your apt-get command that choked, now that there’s no remaining conflict.

On very rare occasions, apt-get might refuse to do anything because some particular named package is in some broken state it can’t deal with. This is the error message : 

dkpg error processing  kdebase-libs_4%3a2.2.2-14_i386.deb (--install)
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:  
kdebase-libs_4%3a2.2.2-14_i386.deb

In such cases, you can make good use of the fact that Debian uses a plain ASCII file (/var/lib/dpkg/status) for its package database, to excise the problem directly: Make a backup copy of /var/lib/dpkg/status, first. (I’ve never needed this, but it seems such an easy precaution,why not?) Now, open /var/lib/dpkg/status in your favourite text editor (i.e. editor !).

Search for «Package: <packagename>», which will bring up a series of non-blank lines comprising the package’s status entry. Remove everything up to the first blank line. Save.

Now, the package’s files, themselves, are still installed, but the Debian package records have selective amnesia: The system believes that package to be not installed. Therefore, apt-get will cease stumbling on the defective package entry: You can now do other apt-get operations, and reinstall the problem package (overwriting its installed files) at any future occasion, at your leisure.

If you wish to fix errors in a package’s installation scripts, they’re in /var/lib/dpkg/info as packagename.postinst, packagename.preinst, packagename.prerm, and/or packagename.postrm. Debug the error, edit the script, and then re-run dpkg -i packagename. (This approach is greatly to be preferred over using —force-something options or editing the package database directly.)

It’s very possible that they haven’t updated their .debs to support python3 yet. That is what’s changed since Mint 19.x.

I would agree. Either wait a week or so, or contact the maintainers to see if they’re still active.

Yes, if they build for Ubuntu 20.04 it will be usable for LM20.

In LM20, you might have to uninstall the 2.1.2+repack-2build1 before installing the new version.

Trying to install NodeJS 16 on ubuntu 22.04.

Ran the official installation instructions:

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Got the following error:

Various versions of Node.js are using a same file (one from apt install, one from manually download), which caused the conflict, resulting the error.

Remove your Node.js 12.22.9 first.

Trying to upgrade nodejs on ubuntu 20.10.

Ran the official installation instructions:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Got the following error:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  nodejs

I’ve looked at other StackOverflow answers recommending that I either try to uninstall nodejs-doc (the conflicting dependency) or to run the following command:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /usr/share/doc/nodejs/api/dgram.json.gz

Neither seemed to work. In the case of the above command, it said that the file needed to be a deb package — and anyway, I’m a little skeptical about that strategy as it could break my setup.

For attempting to removing nodejs-doc, I got the following output:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nodejs : Depends: libnode72 (= 12.18.2~dfsg-1ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
          Recommends: nodejs-doc but it is not going to be installed

I’ve also tried running the recommended apt --fix-broken install but it doesn’t seem to help.
