Package: xlibs Version: 4.2.1-4 Severity: important Doing a large upgrade of my system and get this: Preparing to replace xlibs 4.1.0-14 (using .../xlibs_4.2.1-4_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement xlibs ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.2.1-4_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults', which is also in package groff
It also complained about xmix but I deleted that package. I'm not sure what packages are at fault but it basically means some manual download and installs to get it fixed. groff is 1.15-3 Actually dpkg -i --force-overwrite did it. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux gonzo 2.4.20-xfs #1 Fri Nov 29 23:49:24 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE= Versions of packages xlibs depends on: ii libc6 2.3.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an pn libfreetype6 Not found. pn xfree86-common Not found. ii xlibs 4.1.0-14 X Window System client libraries -- no debconf information
