    Testing Updates problem

    Clean install and then update gives me
    Fatal error: Error while installing package: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/kde-mimeapps.list', which is also in package neon-settings-2 0.4+p22.04+vstable+git20240125.1041
    Best solution?

    Neon Testing.

    Neon Testing.
    Separate issue, completely unrelated to the OP.
    But:
    use apt to show the full error. it should look something like this:

    Code:
    error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/plasma-desktop_4%3a5.91.90+p22.04+vstable+git20240214.023 9-0_amd64.deb (--unpack):
    trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/kde-mimeapps.list', which is also in package neon-settings-2 0.4+p22.04+vstable+git20240125.1041​
    use that info to determine the correct package and its full path: /var/cache/apt/archives/plasma-desktop_4%3a5.91.90+p22.04+vstable+git20240214.023 9-0_amd64.deb
    Use what yours shows, not mine above, it could well be a different package version.

    Then to fix: sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/plasma-desktop_4%3a5.91.90+p22.04+vstable+git20240214.023 9-0_amd64.deb

      Thanks claydoh

      Sorted.

      Code:
      Getting updates                         [=========================]    
      Finished                                [=========================]          
      No packages require updating to newer versions.
