Please stop suggesting such crude workarounds. An administrator really needs to know about these conflicts instead of packages randomly overwriting each other's files. In the rare event of such a conflict, one can always do dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/... manually if one is so inclined. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
