Hi Hans
I was going to install Pd-extended from here:
http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/2011-09-16/Pd-0.43.1-extended-20110916-ubuntu-natty-i386.deb
on a Ubuntu 11.04 machine and I got this:
Unpacking pd-extended (from Pd-0.43.1-extended-20110916-ubuntu-natty-i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing Pd-0.43.1-extended-20110916-ubuntu-natty-i386.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/pd', which is also in package puredata 0.42.6-2
dpkg-deb (subprocess): data: internal gzip write error: Broken pipe
dpkg-deb (subprocess): failed in write on buffer copy for failed to write to pipe in copy: Broken pipe
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess <decompress> returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
Pd-0.43.1-extended-20110916-ubuntu-natty-i386.deb
It seems, that 'pd-extended' is conflicting with 'puredata' without
mentioning 'puredata' in the 'Conflicts:' section. I think either it
should be mentioned there or - what I think would be the better
solution, if possible at all - it should not try to
overwrite /usr/bin/pd.
I don't know the current state of Pd-extended-0.43, probably it's still
very much work-in-progress. I thought I mention this anyway.
