Well, how about it? Status quo is no good: # dpkg -i mailutils_20020904-2_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package mailutils. (Reading database ... 41952 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking mailutils (from mailutils_20020904-2_i386.deb) ... Adding `diversion of /usr/bin/frm to /usr/bin/frm.elm-me+ by mailutils' dpkg: error processing mailutils_20020904-2_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/messages', which is also in package elm-me+ dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: mailutils_20020904-2_i386.deb Thanks, Matej
