Aptana 3 - Can't update because of pydev dependency

Question

I'm trying without success to update aptana 3 using the Check for updates.. option, but I am getting the following error:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency. Software being installed: Aptana Studio 3 3.0.7.201112151935-15122011194114 (com.aptana.rcp.product 3.0.7.201112151935-15122011194114) Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1313016179000 (SharedProfile_AptanaProfile 1.0.0.1313016179000) Only one of the following can be installed at once: Pydev debug 2.2.1.2011073123 (org.python.pydev.debug 2.2.1.2011073123) Pydev debug 2.2.4.2011121401 (org.python.pydev.debug 2.2.4.2011121401) Cannot satisfy dependency: From: Shared profile 1.0.0.1313016179000 (SharedProfile_AptanaProfile 1.0.0.1313016179000) To: org.python.pydev.debug [2.2.1.2011073123] Cannot satisfy dependency: From: Aptana Studio 3 3.0.7.201112151935-15122011194114 (com.aptana.rcp.product 3.0.7.201112151935-15122011194114) To: org.python.pydev.debug [2.2.4.2011121401]

How to I uninstall pydev / solve this problem?

Thanks

If you've installed PyDev, you really need to uninstall it to get Aptana Studio 3 (which already contains a version of PyDev) -- go to help > about > installation details, click the PyDev plugin and select "uninstall" (at the bottom).

Also, instead of doing 'check for updated', I'd recommend going to help > install new software, deselect 'contact all update sites to find required software' and then entering the Aptana Studio 3 Update site (as a new version will be there, it'll go on and only update Aptana Studio 3 at that point).
