hello,

i have installed ubuntu 12.10 yesterday and followed the instructions here:

http://puredata.info/docs/faq/debian

apt-get has downloaded all necessary files, during the following routine i get error:

"
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/pd-extended_0.43.1~20120926-1~quantal1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/cyclist', which is also in package cyclist 0.1~alpha55-6
"

"
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/pd-extended_0.43.1~20120926-1~quantal1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
"

any help please? thanks

i worked around it...

first i did:

apt-get install pd-extended

then i removed the cyclist via software center (you could probably also use apt-get for this)

then i went back to the terminal:
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/pd-extended_0.43.1~20120926-1~quantal1_amd64.deb

so now pd is installed and starting... hopefully it also works

thanks argor,

I have the same problem with ubuntu 12 and I solved the same way!

but a little diference, I used synaptic for remove 'cyclist' and 'pd-extended'
and then install pd-extended via synaptic

synaptic is a package manager, like the ubuntu software center

thanks!

i know synaptic, i actually like it... because you can also search the database when you are offline. so you can search all you need, then go find an open wlan and quickly install everything in a row
