libgl1-mesa-drv won't update from Discover on Kubuntu 22.04

Question

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 &apos;/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i915_dri.so&apos;, which is also in package libgl1-amber-dri

The system I am running is the following:

  KDE Frameworks version: 5.92.0

Does this answer your question? dpkg error trying to override /use/share/metainfo/granite.appdata.xml which is also in libgranite-common — nobody, Oct 14 '22 at 15:41
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
