In Neptune 6, while installing k3b with the help of muon package manager, it failed to install.

A new window opened displaying following-

/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-n9Wlz2/07-k3b-data_18.08.1-1_all.deb
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/solid/actions/k3b_audiocd_rip.desktop', which is also in package neptune-settings-plasma5-profile 2.16

    Jag59 changed the title to K3b can not be installed in Neptune 6..

      Thanks for reporting. This seems to be a bug.

        Hallo ich bin neu hier seit Heute. Den selben Bug habe ich noch immer gehabt wo ich K3b installieren wollte. Wird das noch behoben? Vielen Dank

          Man kann k3b forciert installieren momentan indem man das deb herunterlädt und mit
          sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i <paketname>.deb installiert.

          Eine Lösung wird kommen.

            Danke, dann weiß ich wie es gemacht wird.

              When I tried to install k3b it failed complaining about a setting in neptune-settings-plasma5-profile (2.16) that couldn't be overwritten. I uninstalled the neptune-settings-xxxxx and then k3b installed fine. I don't know what other settings that might have been affected by doing this so I didn't try to reinstall the neptune settings 2.16 again. I didn't notice anything bad as a result.

              Ercouper The solution would be to overwrite the settings file. like instructed with the sudo dpkg --force-overwrite command.
              Otherwise you will miss the default settings we ship with Neptune.

              The bug will be fixed in the future.

                sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i <packagename>.deb

                leszek That didn't work, but "sudo apt-get -o Dpkg:😮ptions::="--force-overwrite" install k3b" did.

                    In my case following worked as it was first got downloaded while trying to install through Muon.

                    sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/k3b-data_18.08.1-1_all.deb

                        This should be finally been fixed with the newest package update.
