I am unable to install libgl1-mesa-dri via the terminal or Kubuntu Discover. Attempting to do so via the terminal returns the following:

Whereas using Kubuntu Discover returns:

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

How should I attempt to fix this? The system is running Kubuntu 22.04.

After some troubleshooting and browsing, [I found this solution to a similar problem](https://askubuntu.com/questions/148383/how-to-resolve-dpkg-error-processing-var-cache-apt-archives-python-apport-2-0). Essentially, you force overwrite the files causing the errors. I suggest you just read the solution because it can explain much better than I can.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
