When I do apt upgrade, gnome-authenticator is being kept back but no errors while updating the other packages, apt dist-upgrade says this about it:
The following packages will be removed: python3-yoyo-migrations
The following new packages will be installed: python3-yoyo
The following packages will be upgraded: gnome-authenticator
Followed by a dpkg error indicating this when processing python3-yoyo *versionnumber*:
"trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/yoyo/__init__.py', which is also in package python3-yoyo-migrations *versionnumber*"
So I tried to remove python3-yoyo-migrations, but that just gives me the same error. Probably because apt is trying to install python3-yoyo before removing python3-yoyo-migrations, but that's just me thinking out loud.
I don't suppose anyone knows how to solve this? All other updates install without problems, with apt upgrade that is, it's just dist-upgrade giving the error and I guess that's the same reason the GUI-updater is giving the error.
We are quite a few who got this issue, the solution is along the lines of:
Code:
apt-get --purge gnome-authenticator
apt-get --purge autoremove # (maybe needed)
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install gnome-authenticator # If you want to have it
