Can't install nemo-seahorse

  • 772

I've tried installing nemo-seahorse extension for nemo file manager after installing it as given in the following sites

http://www.webupd8.org/2016/11/nemo-320-with-unity-patches-and-without.html http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/install-nemo-with-unity-patches-and.html http://www.noobslab.com/2017/01/latest-nemo-file-manager-with.html

but every time I tried to install nemo-seahorse using the command sudo apt-get install nemo-seahorse I would get an error something like:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/nemo-seahorse_3.2.0-1~webupd8~xenial0_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/seahorse-tool', which is also in package seahorse-nautilus 3.11.92-1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/nemo-seahorse_3.2.0-1~webupd8~xenial0_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

or

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/nemo-seahorse_3.2.0-b~xenial~NoobsLab.com_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/seahorse-tool', which is also in package seahorse-nautilus 3.11.92-1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

 /var/cache/apt/archives/nemo-seahorse_3.2.0-b~xenial~NoobsLab.com_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So I've removed the packages and PPA each time and now installed the nemo using sudo apt-get install nemo the default one available in ubuntu and tried to build the extensions as given in this site: How to install nemo extensions? But it's still not working I got this in the terminal at the end:

gpg: skipped "Clement Lefebvre <[email protected]>": No secret key
gpg: dpkg-sign.2qaQaPF8/nemo-seahorse_3.2.0.dsc: clearsign failed: No secret key

dpkg-buildpackage: error: failed to sign .dsc and .changes file

so the extension is not installed? How can I install it? And in the list of extensions in the nemo file manager, I can only find nemo-fileroller selected and can't see anymore extensions. But I think I'll not get updates for the extension if I install through building. Sorry if I'm doing some very basic mistake and thank you for taking time.

    If you do not use nautilus file manager

    If you use nautilus at all, stop here, and jump to the next section.

    It looks like in your first attempt, the ppa was trying to overwrite a nautilus or nautilus plugin dependency on your system. Overwriting would be bad because it could break nautilus, so the system stops you. If you don't use nautilus, you could try removing it entirely:

    • sudo apt-get remove nautilus seahorse-nautilus
    • sudo apt-get autoremove # gets rid of nautilus extras hanging around
    • Try installing from ppa again sudo apt-get install nemo-seahorse

    If you do use nautilus

    You may be able to complete the install from ppa if you simply get rid of the seahorse-nautilus package followed by the autoremove command.

    • sudo apt-get remove seahorse-nautilus
    • sudo apt-get autoremove # gets rid of extra unused dependencies hanging around
    • Try installing from ppa again sudo apt-get install nemo-seahorse
