Hello, As it seems to me you are using a testing system with some unstable packages. In your case you have three possibilities: 1. try to uninstall libcomerr2 (and all packages depending on it) and then install the e2fsprogs from testing (1.33+1.34-WIP-2003.05.21-2). or 2. install the e2fsprogs from unstable (1.34+1.35-WIP-2003.08.21-3) (as you did for libcomerr2) or 3. force one of the two packages to overwrite the the file (dpkg -i --force-overwrite packagename.deb). But in this case I don't like this because I don't know if the .so-file is the same version in both packages and so I don't know if it is a good idea to simply overwrite it.
I chose the second possibility because i.e. evolution 1.4 depends on libcomerr2 and as I said I didn't like the overwriting thing in this case. Hope this helps.
