I'm attempting to install Ubuntu from a live USB, however it gives me the following error:

error installing /cdrom//pool/main/c/console-setup/console-setup-linux_1.88_all.c trying to overwrite '/etc/console-setup/compose.ISo-8859-13.inc', which is also in package console-setup 1.88.

I have already tried to recreate the live USB. The system previously held a Ubuntu 12.04 installation.

Is there any way around this?

Edit:

it seems that the new installation also damaged the other partitions as I now get 

> `error: no such device: 83327c9[long code]`
entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

when trying to restart (rather than the "Choose a boot"). However the Ubuntu installation just started with no problems.

and opening the grub rescue, is there any way to restore my Windows 7 boot as well as my old Ubuntu 12.04?

  • Please run lsblk from installation USB then add it's output to your question. We need to know the partition layout. – Danatela Jun 16 '14 at 05:52
  • Looks like your partition table may be corrupt. Can you delete the partitions and start again? – bain Jun 16 '14 at 23:47

I experienced the same installation crash with the same error message. Apparently either the the copy of the installation ISO that I downloaded or the copy created in the USB memory stick was defective. I downloaded a fresh copy of Ubuntu 14.04, formated the memory stick and installed the new copy. Then in the installation process, I checked the disk for errors and found none. This time the installation proceeded to completion without problem.
