A package is trying to mess with another package's files. dpkg caught what might be a problem and stopped. It' probably safe in this situation to do "dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/gdk-imlib-dev_1.9.14-6_i386.deb". "man dpkg" and read about "--force-things" before you do this. When that completes do "apt-get dist-upgrade" again. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
