When updating f-droid, and etar I believe is trying to update from 1.0.34 to 1.0.35, the following error shows up:
Error installing Etar - Opensource Calendar
Error - 112: The system failed to install the package because it s attempting to define a permission that is already defined by some existent package
Not sure what’s going on, since there’s no mention of which other package has already defined the permission Etar is trying to define. Also, 1.0.34 works fine, and what’s advertised as new:
- Add url field
- Bug fixes
- New translatios
So I don’t see anything about permissions, :(
Is this happening to others? Any work around, other than waiting for the issue to go away on a future release?
Edit: There’s a reported issue on Etar’s github: F-Droid Version 1.0.35 Will Not Install, which seems to affect LOS, and therefore LOS for microG (what I use)
Nope, I only install F-Droid provided apps from F-Droid. When changing that, like when moving Newpipe from the F-Droid provided one to the Newpipe repo, I have to uninstall it 1st.
Now, the issue is not about signature. It’s about “defining” a permission, which BTW, I can’t tell what that exactly means. In my mind defining is not quite the same as trying to acquire, and the later is more reasonable for an app to me, and can’t understand how come an app can define a permission. But oh well, perhaps the error message is not as accurate.
