node.js - dpkg: error processing archive ( On installing Nodejs) - Stack... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74410483/dpkg-error-processing-a...

I got the same error,

36 Preparing to unpack .../nodejs_18.15.0-deb-1nodesource1_amd64.deb ...


Unpacking nodejs (18.15.0-deb-1nodesource1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/nodejs_18.15.0-
deb-1nodesource1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/systemtap/tapset/node.stp', which is also in
package libnode72:amd64 12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/nodejs_18.15.0-deb-1nodesource1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

but this is the exact error,

trying to overwrite '/usr/share/systemtap/tapset/node.stp', which is also in


package libnode72:amd64 12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3

In my case removed the libnode72 package by running the following command.

sudo apt remove libnode72

# If above does not work for you, run below commands

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq libnode-dev


sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq libnode72:amd64

I think in your case you have to remove the libnode-dev package. Please try it by running the
following command,

sudo apt remove libnode-dev

If this doesn't work for you or anyone, please add a comment.

Thanks, I faced the same issue. Got fixed after removing libnode72 .

3 sudo apt remove libnode72

If you get error while removing trying to overwrite /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/node.stp ,


which is also in package libnode72:amd64 12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.4

Remove nodejs first:

sudo apt remove nodejs

Then try to remove libnode72 again

sudo apt remove libnode72

Then install new nodejs version.

I got the same error while installing nodejs v18 on wsl here is the solution:
