Linux Lite 3.0 xfce4-goodies breaks xfce4-whiskermenu How do I fix this? - TuxInAGalaxy - 07-23-2016
I use several items in the xfce4-goodies. This is the first time I couldn't get the goodies to install properly. I'm running Linux Lite 3.0 64 bit. I did some google searches. I didn't find any quick fixes for this.
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin_1.5.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/whiskermenu.desktop', which is also in package whiskermenu 1.5.2.1-linuxlite
How do I fix this?

I'm not sure where the whiskermenu package called whiskermenu 1.5.2.1-linuxlite is located. Is there a way to re install it?
I'm now running xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin 1.5.1. I'm not sure how this happened....
All I tried to do is install xfce4-goodies. After installing everything it threw me the error. It appears that what is in the goodies is older than what is/was on the Linux Lite 3.0 system. On my other computer, I looked up the list of things that came with the goodies. Then I installed everything one by one avoiding the whiskermenu and everything went ok. But for now this system is still kinda broken.

Linux Lite produces a fork of Whisker Menu. This would have produced the initial error.

Maybe you will just have to back up your personal files and reinstall.

Jerry, and all interested,
I would like to open a discussion of Thunar functions, and Xfce goodies in the proper section on this forum. (development? suggestions?) I have installed Solydx on one of my laptops, which contains all of the features currently available for Thunar etc. I am going to go through the code myself once I obtain source, because I feel these features seem desirable for LL. I do not consider Nitroshare to be a good solution for file sharing issues that are now solved in Thunar, and with more versatility. It has caught my curiosity.

Go for it. We are 'light' so there are unlikely to be any more goodies bundled. But will look at your thread with interest

Noticed this was abandoned but I have come across this before and although it is not a fix it is a work around.
What I do is go into the package manager and search for "xfce4-" by then you will see all the separate plug-ins. Find xfce4-goodies and select it for removal.
Then just select the plug-ins you want for installation.

What I've been doing is search for the list of xfce goodies packages
http://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=xfce+goodies+package+list
Then I go to this one:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/x11/xfce4-goodies
Then I install them one at a time, while making sure I avoid the whiskermenu.

I found a way to skip this error.
Make a copy first and edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/status
look for the "Package: xfce4-goodies", and purge from "xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin" dependencies.
After that it is ok, but I know that it is not the right way to solve the problem, but I can't format it now.
