When I am running sudo apt-get -f install, it shows dpkg: error processing. Please find the complete logs below and advise how to solve this. I am running VB 5.0.10 with Ubuntu 16.04 and already installed go 1.8 and its working fine

  • First, clean up your system: sudo apt autoremove – user535733 Jun 04 '17 at 16:02
  • Second, look at the error message for the 'trying to overwrite' string. Read that entire line (it wraps around) carefully. Each file in Ubuntu can be provided by only one package (few exceptions). When two packages try to provide the same file, they conflict. Decide which one you want and uninstall the other. – user535733 Jun 04 '17 at 16:03
