If you installed any associated files "behind mingw-get's back", then this is expected, and by design. The rationale is that mingw-get has no way of knowing whence an existing file, which it wants to install but doesn't own, may have come. It doesn't want to blindly overwrite something which may be important to you, and may differ in functionality from the version it provides. On the horns of this dilemma, it does the only sane thing it can — it tells you there is a potential conflict, and leaves it to you to decide how it should be resolved. If you do want mingw-get to take ownership, then you must manually delete the conflicting files, and then "mingw-get install --reinstall ..." the owning package. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket Status: Reporter: melchiorgaspar Owner: (None) Type: Issues Status: Open Priority: 5 - Medium MileStone: (None) Component: INSTALLER Severity: 5 - Medium Resolution: None --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticket details: I am having issues updating to v8.2 for some packages some missing packages... here is the update report for missing or issues.. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ upgrade: gcc-core-4.8.2-2-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma removing release gcc-core-4.8.2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** gcc-core-4.8.2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta: invalid manifest; no references installing gcc-core-4.8.2-2-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma upgrade: gcc-c++-4.8.2-2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta removing release gcc-c++-4.8.2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** gcc-c++-4.8.2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta: invalid manifest; no references installing gcc-c++-4.8.2-2-mingw32-dev.tar.meta upgrade: gcc-c++-4.8.1-5-mingw32-doc.tar.lzma mingw-get-gui: *** WARNING *** not removing installed release mingw-get-gui: *** WARNING *** gcc-c++-4.8.1-4-mingw32-doc.tar.lzma is still installed mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** required package file is not available mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** cannot upgrade to gcc-c++-4.8.1-5-mingw32-doc.tar.lzma mingw-get-gui: *** ERROR *** due to previous download failure ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ plus the zlib libz dev package had a overwrite error.. and wouldn't force an overwrite... had to do it manually... there were other error popups when I used "Mark all upgrades" option... here is a link to screenshot(s) in a zip archive https://www.dropbox.com/s/ 716k9oq82n6nfcc/MinGW_screenshots.zip?dl=0 -- Ticket information of MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows project MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows Project is hosted on OSDN Project URL: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ OSDN: https://osdn.net URL for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ticket/38940 RSS feed for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/ticket/ticket_rss.php?group_id=3917&tid=38940
