A bug: same file in two different packages. Workaround is dpkg -i --force-overwrite kdebase-libs_4%3a2.2.2-13_i386.deb After that you can run dpkg --configure --pending (or just re-run apt). Check dpkg manpage first, I might've misspelled the options. Dima -- I like the US government, makes the Aussie one look less dumb and THAT is a pretty big effort. -- Craig Small
