Public bug reported: Affects: gnopernicus libbrlapi1 (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Confirmed
Description: Looks like packages libbrlapi1 and libbrlapi are both trying to own the file: /lib/libbrlapi.so.0.4 Synaptic won't let me remove "libbrlapi" to try to fix the dependency problem. The update manager recommends using "-f install" to repair the index, but this fails: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...
