Bug#304888: Conflict between libuim0 and uim-applet-gnome

[Ishmael Turner]

Package: libuim0
Version: 1:0.4.6final1-2

Hi, I've done an "apt-get update"; "apt-get dist-upgrade" and it reported that it couldn't upgrade libuim0. I did an "apt-get -f install" and got the following output:

iorek:~# apt-get -f install

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This is the same output that libuim0 gave during the upgrade, but it scrolled by too quickly. The problem seems to be that the uim.mo file is also used by uim-applet-gnome. So at the moment the keyboard doesn't work in any Gnome applications, copying and pasting from KDE apps does work. I'm using KDE at the moment which should get me by for now. What can I do to resolve this or will I have to wait for an update to the affected packages?

My computer details:
Debian Sarge
Linux 2.6.6
libc.so: 2.3.2.ds1-20
