Package: libquantum-entanglement-perl Version: 0.25-3 Severity: important This package seems to contain /usr/lib/perl/5.8, which is preventing perl-base 5.8.4-2.2 from installing, since:
Unpacking replacement perl-base ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-base_5.8.4-2.2_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/perl/5.8', which is also in package libquantum-entanglement-perl If I read the situation correctly, the problem is with this package and not perl-base (which wants to update the directory to a symlink to /usr/lib/perl/5.8.4). Severity important since this prevents perl-base from being upgraded. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 Versions of packages libquantum-entanglement-perl depends on: pn perl Not found. -- no debconf information
