Issue Getting mysql-cluster-client to Install Using Synaptic Package Manager

Asked by Christopher Caranna

Every time I try to get mysql-cluster-client to install using the Synaptic Package Manager it fails and the following message is displayed:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-cluster-client-5.1_7.0.9-1ubuntu7_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0', which is also in package libmysqlclient16 0

Being very new to Linux that error message does not make a whole lot of sense to me.

Any assistance with understanding it and resolving the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Run:

sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-cluster-client-5.1_7.0.9-1ubuntu7_i386.deb; sudo apt-get -f install

You should also run:

ubuntu-bug mysql-cluster-client

And let the devs know there is a duplicated file in the packages.

Basically there is /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0 in the package but it is also in another package you have installed, the installer doesn't like this so you get an error, the command I gave tells the installer to not care and just overwrite the file.

 Thank you for your answer.

It worked!

I am a person who is trying to learn Linux by taking baby steps and, at
the same time, engage in interesting projects.

Please remember to log a bug, this can then be fixed so other users do not come across the same issue.

It is working solution, but after that I got theese warnings in postfix log:

I fixed it with running smtp,cleanup and rewrite services in master.cf in non-chroot mode.
