Installing pwsafe 1.16 on Ubuntu 22.10 returns error "passwordsafe conflicts with passwordsafe-common"

[igor2x]

On Ubuntu 22.10 I use PasswordSafe 1.15.

I downloaded passwordsafe-ubuntu22-1.16-amd64.deb and tried to install and I get error:

sudo dpkg -i passwordsafe-ubuntu22-1.16-amd64.deb

dpkg: regarding passwordsafe-ubuntu22-1.16-amd64.deb containing passwordsafe:
 passwordsafe conflicts with passwordsafe-common
  passwordsafe-common (version 1.15.0+dfsg-1) is present and installed.

dpkg: error processing archive passwordsafe-ubuntu22-1.16-amd64.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing passwordsafe
Errors were encountered while processing:
 passwordsafe-ubuntu22-1.16-amd64.deb

Then downloaded for "older" Ubuntu:

sudo dpkg -i passwordsafe-ubuntu20-1.16-amd64.deb

dpkg: regarding passwordsafe-ubuntu20-1.16-amd64.deb containing passwordsafe:
 passwordsafe conflicts with passwordsafe-common
  passwordsafe-common (version 1.15.0+dfsg-1) is present and installed.

How to install Password Save 1.16 on Ubuntu 22.10.

If would be nice to consider for Linux to create flatpak package as suggested in #562 This would fix many problems.

I have manage to solve the problem with bellow commands:

sudo apt purge passwordsafe-common 
sudo apt autoremove
sudo dpkg -i passwordsafe-*.deb
sudo apt -f install
sudo dpkg -i passwordsafe-*.deb

This issue can be closed down.

Please consider creating flatpak in order to simplify installation.

Yes, passwordsafe-common was created by another package maintainer. In my opinion it's an unnecessary complication for as simple a package as PasswordSafe.
