Troubles installing MEGA X
by apc92 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4T28Q)
Hi,
I have got problems while trying to install the graphical software for Molecular Evolutionary Genetic Analysis (MEGA X) in Ubuntu/Debian system available at :https://www.megasoftware.net/ by downloading the corresponding package and running in the command line:
sudo dpkg -i megax_10.0.5-1_amd64.deb
Then, the following error message appeared:

dpkg: error while processing the archive megax_10.0.5-1_amd64.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/usr/local/share/man/man1/megacc.1' , that is also located in the package 7.0.25
Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.5-1) ....
Error while processing:
megax_10.0.5-1_amd64.deb
I have tried to remove (using rm) the archive megacc.1 located in /usr/local/share/man/man1 but I have insufficient permissions and I attempted to modify it with chmod but it was not possible (insufficient permissions error again).
Thank you very much for your help and sorry for the inconvenience.
