Upgrading Error: "conflicting packages - not installing sublime-text"
« on: Mar 24, 2015, 12:39 PM »
Hi,

I'm getting this error when trying to install an update from Sublime Text.

Code: [Select]
skyla157@SYS:~$ sudo dpkg -i '/home/skyla157/Downloads/sublime-text_build-3080_amd64.deb'
[sudo] password for skyla157:
Selecting previously unselected package sublime-text.
dpkg: regarding .../sublime-text_build-3080_amd64.deb containing sublime-text:
 sublime-text-installer conflicts with sublime-text
  sublime-text (version 3080) is to be installed.

dpkg: error processing archive /home/skyla157/Downloads/sublime-text_build-3080_amd64.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing sublime-text
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /home/skyla157/Downloads/sublime-text_build-3080_amd64.deb
Anyone know how to solve this...

Thanks

Okay guys i found a fix on the sublime text forums. You're supposed to run this command before trying to upgrade your sublime text installation.

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get purge sublime-text-installer
After running this, i was safely able to update the IDE. :D
