apt install error w/ fileutils*.deb

#1 Post by MattRock »

Hi all...
I am attempting to install and configure PHP4 which has the package "fileutils" as a dependant. Here is the error I am recieving when apt attmepts to install...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/bin/chgrp', which is also in package coreutils
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any suggestions as to how I can get past this?

coreutils should replace fileutils, but if you want to override try "dpkg -i --force -all debpackage.deb" then apt-get -f install.
