Trying to install citadel on ubuntu

by

I almost have installed citadel on ubuntu 8.04. First I added

deb http://debian.citadel.org/ubuntu/ hardy main

to my /etc/apt/sources.list

Then I ran

apt-get update

Then I ran the apt-get install citadel-suite command. Interestingly, I get this problem:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libsieve2-1_2.2.6-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libsieve.so.1', which is also in package libmailutils1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libsieve2-1_2.2.6-1_i386.deb

So it appears that libmailutils1 already created a file /usr/lib/libsieve.so.1, and now libsieve can’t install.

How can I get around this?

Answer

Sweet! I got it.

First, a bit of reading. Then,

dpkg -r libmailutils1
apt-get -f install

I’m not sure if this will have any side-effects later, but it seems like a solution for now
