Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cairo-dock

I have for some time been unable to upgrade cairo-dock; error reported
that icon directory already existed, and upgrade crashed.

I finally decided to remove and the reinstall. Since I wanted to keep
settings I did not do a complete removal. Here is the result.

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/cairo-dock-data_1.6.2.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb:
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/cairo-dock/emblems/charge.svg', which is
also in package cairo-dock

So I then did a complete removal

This time when I installed it was successful

Using Intrepid; cairo-dock 1.6.3.1
