I have woody installed and just a few days ago I thought I would replace gs-aladdin with gs. This has got me into trouble where I can't proceed any further.
I get gs: Depends: gs-common(>=0.2) but it is not installed E: unmet dependencies. Try using -f. When I try apt-get -f install I get dpkg: error processing /var/cache/.... gs-common trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/bdftops' which is also in package ghostscript' I don't seem to be able to get past this. Fortunately , the system is still working. There is no package called ghostscript, so I do not know what package is being referred to. Though gs-aladdin is reported as being uninstalled, I presume, since the system is working and gs has not been installed, that the ghostscript part of aladdin has not been completely removed. The problem is: How do I get it to instll gs-common so that it can then install gs ? Thanks for any suggestions.
