Error Installing Git with Apt-Get
Just in case: it is apt-get install git-core
, not just apt-get install git
.
Alright, I got it fixed. I had to manually remove the package and then force dpkg to clear itself. Afterwards I installed it from git-core and that worked fine. To manually remove the package I went to
/var/cache/apt/archives
And removed git_1%3a1.7.4.1-3_i386.deb
file. After that I went to
/var/lib/dpkg/info
And did an ls | grep git
and removed everything that turned up. Afterwards, I ran
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq git
To clean dpkg of the package. Once that was done I was able to install git from git-core
instead of the git
package and it worked just fine.
