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)

Well, it's been filed already, and seems to be an issue only on LOS, apparently not for Android, and perhaps not other AOSP based ROMS. See F-Droid Version 1.0.35 Will Not Install
