Background
I am trying to install Google Drive, so I am installing Grive. I previously tried to install SyncDrive, which isn't supported any longer. Now, I am having some conflicts between the two installations. (I am on Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander).)
The problem
My installation of Grive was not working, indicating some missing dependencies. So I ran sudo apt-get -f install
, but it gives me the following error:
Unpacking grive (from .../grive_0.3.0-1+git20131016~thefanclub~saucy1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/grive_0.3.0-1+git20131016~thefanclub~saucy1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/grive', which is also in package syncdrive 0.9-1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
I tried to fix this using sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /usr/bin/grive
, but it is not a Debian package. So, how can I resolve this problem? Is there a way to force the overwrite of /usr/bin/grive
?
