Two arts installed ?
I am getting errors when doing 'apt-get update': ###################################################### Reading Package Lists... E: There are two or more versions of the package 'arts' installed in your system, which is a situation APT can't handle cleanly at the moment. Please do one of the following: 1) Keep at most one version of the package in the system; or 2) If you do want to keep multiple versions of that package, lookup RPM::Allow-Duplicated in the documentation. ###################################################### Yes I checked they are two arts: # rpm -qa | grep arts arts-gmcop-1.1-49 arts-1.1-49 arts-1.1-49 I cannot use apt-get or rpm to remove one of the arts, since they have identical name, system cannot know which to remove. :( Someone has ideas? Also how could I installed two arts of the same name? Thanks! -- Yongtao Yang email: yongtao.yang@telia.com

Perhaps an rpm --rebuild is in order? -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions

Hi, John: Thanks for your reply I don't quite understand why I need 'rpm --rebuild'? From the rpm manual : rpm {--rebuild|--recompile} SOURCEPKG ... When invoked this way, rpm installs the named source package, and does a prep, compile and install. In addition, --rebuild builds a new binary package. When the build has completed, the build directory is removed (as in --clean) and the the sources and spec file for the pack- age are removed. But I just want to remove one the arts packages I have already installed. -- Yongtao Yang email: yongtao.yang@telia.com

John, did you actually mean 'rpm --rebuilddb' ? :) -- Yongtao Yang email: yongtao.yang@telia.com

I actually had this same problem, but not with arts but with NVIDIA_kernel. My solution was to rebuild the RPM database: # rpm --rebuilddb # The error that came up at the time said that there was a duplicate entry and that it is going to be deleted.
