package gnome-accessibility-themes-extras (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/themes/LowContrast/index.theme', which is also in package gnome-themes-standard 2.91.93-1

Can you give the full output of:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade

I can give a command to make the package install.

Thanks

sorry for the delayed response...thank you for your quick answer!

I'm new to linux and the launchpad answer/bug system, so excuse me for all noobiness. Trying to get the output you asked for, this were my results.

1. First i typed in the console what you requested, this was the output, having gnome-themes-standard 2.91.93-1 installed and not the package gnome-accessibility-themes-extras package: No errors.

(I am guessing i got to have the uninstallable package selected for installation in the synaptic package manager to show the error...please let me not if it is not what you intended/needed)

2. Then i tried to replicate the error by selecting gnome-accessibility-themes-extras for install in Synaptic package manager....and well...what do you know...this time it installed....with errors:

3. After that, i tried to uninstall it in synaptic and it said:

dpkg: error processing gnome-accessibility-themes-extras (--remove):
 Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
 reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:

4. So i did try to reinstall it, but it showed the same errors about dpkg fork failed. Then i rebooted an retried which delivered the original problem plus the new one but this time the package is (apparently) installed:

5. I retried UNinstalling it. Succeded.

6. And now when i try to install it again shows the original issue:

I do not know how to proceed from here... Can you help please? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

PD: The lines about NOX gtk appear whenever i install any packages if i have the NOX gtk appearance active....I doubt that it is related... how wrong am i?:

/usr/share/themes/NOX/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:233: Murrine configuration option "gradients" is no longer supported and will be ignored.

sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-accessibility-themes-extras_2.32.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb

Please also log a bug by running:

ubuntu-bug gnome-accessibility-themes-extras

There is a duplicated file in TWO packages and dpkg doesn't like that. The giveawaylines are:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-accessibility-themes-extras_2.32.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/themes/LowContrast/index.theme', which is also in package gnome-themes-standard 2.91.93-1

Which you should include in your bug. The command I gave will square off the packages but this does need fixing and should be smooth
