Hi,

I had a pevious version of exe, exe_1.04.1.3605-ubuntu1_i386, which I didn’t remove before trying to install python-intef-exe_2.0_i386. The installation of the version 2.0 fails with the following error:

trying to overwrite ‘/usr/bin/exe’, which is also in package exe 1.04.1.3605-ubuntu1dpkg-deb (subprocess): data: internal gzip write error: Broken pipe

I then performed a remove and purge of 1.04, suppressed /usr/bin/exe and retried to install 2.0, but this still fails with the same error. I cleaned the dpkg cache but it seems that somewhere the package installer has some trace of the version 1.04 although I get the message E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘exe_1.04.1.3605-ubuntu1_i386’ when I retry to remove the version 1.04.What should I do to fully clean the version 1.04 and hopefully succesfully install the 2.0 version?

Thanks for your help.

I reply to myself as this may help others. First, I reinstalled the 1.04 properly. I discovered that the actual name of the package (dpkg -l) is exe and not exe_1….I therefore purged that package and following this, version 2 installed flawlessly. Pb solved.

Hi Maurice, I’m interested in your problem.

1.- Who was the Ubuntu package created by?

2.- trying to overwrite ‘/usr/bin/exe’, which is also in package exe 1.04.1.3605-ubuntu1

This is normally solved by a –force-all

dpkg -i –force-all *.deb

3.- I then performed a remove and purge of 1.04, suppressed /usr/bin/exe

If you have purged 1.04 there can be no /usr/bin/exe around. It sounds as if the Ubuntu package had problems (or was installed over a package with problems). That’s why the problems were solved after a reinstall

4. The problems we are finding with the update are related to the ~/.exe/ directory

Thank you for your info.

The course focuses on the basic concepts and elements of the Python programming language (operators, numeric and string variables, lists, conditions and loops).
The course is introductory and will suit most students who do not have experience writing programs in any programming language. python tkinter
