I upgraded from U12.04 where I was using ROS-F to U12.10 and then attempted to install ROS-G.

It seems that there is a conflict between libyaml-cpp-dev and yaml-cpp which needs to have a 'conflicts' added to the .deb package. (Error Below)

Unpacking libyaml-cpp-dev (from .../libyaml-cpp-dev_0.3.0-1_amd64.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libyaml-cpp-dev_0.3.0-1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/include/yaml-cpp/aliasmanager.h', which is also in package yaml-cpp 0.2.7-5precise-20120502-0513-+0000 No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already

dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libyaml-cpp-dev_0.3.0-1_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This error happens now whenever I try to use apt-get and I'm unable to install or remove packages from my system. Help Please?

Also, make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list was updated correctly for the new Ubuntu version.

I updated many times without success. Also, the sources appear correct.

I had the same conflict. The conflict was actually between yaml-cpp and libyaml-cpp-dev.


sudo apt-get remove ^ros*
sudo apt-get remove --purge yaml-cpp
sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-desktop-full

resolved my issue.

I agree that this looks like a package conflict. First re-run apt-get update, then you can try to remove yaml-cpp and all its dependencies, and retry the install.

Solution:

sudo apt-get remove ^ros*

Now to attempt a re-install. :)

What happened when you tried just removing yaml-cpp and its dependencies?

It gave me a bunch more errors about other packages which depended on it and such. FWIW I was able to sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-desktop-full without any problems. Perhaps it worked this time because the above glob also removed all of my ROS-F packages as well.

Fuerte is not supported on quantal. If you have fuerte packages after upgrading, they will have conflicting dependencies which dpkg cannot resolve. Removing ros-fuerte-* is the right solution.
