I am running Kubuntu 22.04 and I recently received an error in relation to updating libgl1-mesa-drv via the Discover software center.

The error message is the following:

Package failed to install:
Error while installing package: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i915_dri.so', which is also in package libgl1-amber-dri

  • Not really - I cannot seem to update this file and am unsure why. Sorry I am new to Ubuntu and Linux in general and want to move away from WIndows. – Rick Press Oct 14 '22 at 15:47

  • `sudo dpkg --dry-run -P libgl1-amber-dri` please, this is only a simulation. 2 Packages are containing the same file `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i915_dri.so'` package `package libgl1-amber-dri` and `libgl1-mesa-dri` Thats why you have the problem, – nobody Oct 16 '22 at 10:50
