Well, that's exactly what it appears to be, these 2 packages want to install files which are also in 2 other packages already on your system (knx-alsa and ntfsprogs). Since neither knx-alsa (a Knoppix-specific package IIRC) nor ntfsprogs are in the Debian archives, you appear to be mixing packages from different archive "universes", and are thus experiencing the resulting namespace conflicts. I would advise you to strictly stick to the Debian archives or the Knoppix ones, but not both. That said, if you are willing to take your chances, you can always try 'dpkg -i --force-overwrite /path/to/package.deb'. -- Carlos Sousa http://vbc.dyndns.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
