Ubuntu
mongo-tools package

package mongo-tools (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/bsondump', which is also in package mongodb-database-tools 100.3.1

Asked by morghan miller

Tried to install mongodb following these instructions: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
But got the above error.

Prior to this, I tried installing using '$ sudo apt install mongodb', which also resulted in an error.

How can I install it?

You seem to have a package mongodb-database-tools already installed which collides with the package mongo-tools.
You can only have one or the other.

If you are following instructions from a non-Ubuntu source, then you should also ask there in case of problems.

Can you help with this problem?
