Torchlight install error on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit

Asked by Massimiliano Maniscalco on 2012-10-03

Yesterday I tried to update Torchlight with update manager but I got an error after downloaded. I tried to uninstall it and then install again with software center, this is what I get:

I manually removed the file '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/torchlight.png' and tried again, but nothing changed, the error message is the same.
Is it my system to have a problem? or is this package to be broken?
Is there anyone with the same problem there?

I have the same issue here, the exact same error message?

Massimiliano Maniscalco (massi-neptune) said : #2

I'm almost sure that it's the package to be broken, hope they will fix it soon.

I had this same problem. I fixed it by running

sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/torchlight_1.0+2012+09+26-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

@John Thank you this seems to do the trick, I had to run on my system

sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/torchlight_1.0+2012+09+26-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

That said fullscreen works now, but my character still does not have a face :)

Thank you, this solved the problem of installing it.
Anyway it crash when I go inside a portal, they didn't fix any bug with this upgrade, they just added a problem to install it.
I'm very disappointed.

Thanks again!
