Installing Debian package error: trying to overwrite '/bin/cpio', which is also in package cpio












1















I am trying to install National instruments NIVISA on Ubuntu 18.04 and I get an error



trying to overwrite '/bin/cpio', which is also in package cpio 2.12+dfsg-6


I have tried to remove the CPIO package



user@user:~/NI-2015/nivisa$ sudo dpkg -P cpio
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of cpio:
ubuntu-standard depends on cpio.
initramfs-tools-core depends on cpio.
alien depends on cpio.


This NI-VISA installation wants to install a library I already have. How can I ignore the installation of CPIO and move on?
