It means that gucharmap and gnome-utils both contain the file /usr/bin/gnome-character-map. dpkg notices this and refuses to let one overwrite it. > The package has errors? Yes, it's a bug in one of the packages; they should either have the file named differently or Conflict so you can't have them installed at the same time. > I've tried to get it from different mirros and I have the same problem. > > Can you help me? please... First, check if someone has filed a bug on either of those packages in the BTS (http://bugs.debian.org/). If no one else has, file it yourself ("reportbug" is handy for this), then you can install gnome-utils like this: $ dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-utils_2.2.1-1_i386.deb -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Do I look like I want a CC?
