Problem with libcodeblocks0 installing CB 8.02

[cecilio]

Hi,
I have the CB SVN 4161 version installed and running without problems on my Ubuntu 7.10 machine.

THis morning I thought about upgrading. So I downloaded the latest CB stable realease 8.02 (ubuntu package) and, after executing untar, I started with:

Code

sudo dpkg -i libcodeblocks0_8.02-0ubuntu1_i386.deb 

And I got the following error messages (original messages were in Spanish. I attach a free translation):

Code

Unpackaging libcodeblocks0 (de libcodeblocks0_8.02-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing libcodeblocks0_8.02-0ubuntu1_i386.deb (--install):
 attempting to overwrite `/usr/lib/libcodeblocks.so.0.0.1', that also is in codeblocks package
dpkg-deb: paste subprocess was terminated by signal (broken pipe)

My knowledge about Linux is minimal. Could you help me with this?

Thank you

Cecilio

it seems that you don't need libcodeblocks0 to install codeblocks, since the library is "already" in the package.

OK, I will ignore the libcodeblocks0 error.

Then I continue:

Code

sudo dpkg -i codeblocks_8.02-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

Unfortunately, now I get (again, my free translation from Spanish):

Code

dpkg: dependencies problems prevent codeblocks configuration:
 codeblocks depends on libcodeblocks0 (= 8.02-0ubuntu1); nevertheless:
  Package `libcodeblocks0' is not installed.
dpkg: error processing codeblocks (--install):
 dependencies problems - it is left without configuring it

any idea?

Thank you,
Cecilio

You should use pasgui repository is much more easy and you get the updates automatically, here;

Just follow hes instructions to configure (synaptic really nice)

I followed JGM advice and downloaded from pasqui repository. So my problem is solved, although I would liked to have an explanation of the problem I was having as it is the only way to learn.

Any way, thank you very much for the help, and thank you to Code::Blocks developers for this excellent IDE.
