Problems installing latest version of jenkins
11,654
Solution 1
You need to uninstall the old Jenkins version via the package manager, not just delete the files; I'm not sure what will happen now that you've deleted some files, but you can try
sudo apt-get purge jenkins
Then try the install again.
In future, you should be able to use
sudo apt-get install jenkins
to install a new version and keep your configuration from the old version.
Solution 2
In my case(debian 7.0) this solution works well
$ mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/jenkins.* /tmp/
$ dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq jenkins
$ dpkg --purge jenkins

On my Ubuntu machine I am trying to do a local install of jenkins. I have followed this guide:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Installing+Jenkins+on+Ubuntu
But when I run
sudo apt-get install jenkins
I get this error:After this operation, 66.4 MB of additional disk space will be used. (Reading database ... 303314 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace jenkins 1.480.3+dfsg-1~exp2 (using .../archives/jenkins_1.535_all.deb) ... Unpacking replacement jenkins ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/jenkins_1.535_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war', which is also in package jenkins-common 1.480.3+dfsg-1~exp2 dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) jenkins stop/waiting Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/jenkins_1.535_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It seems that an older installation is blocking the install. I have tried to delete:
/var/lib/jenkins /usr/share/jenkins/
Any ideas?
