Not really. I've had my share of troubles with apt/dpkg, but I've always been able to understand where the problem was, and deal with it.

This doesn't make sense here, because the problem is not a file belonging to 2 different packages. Once again, I don't recall a problem with my frozen-bubble upgrades... Actually, there is no /usr/games/frozen-bubble.wav file listed in the frozen-bubble-data 1.0.0-4 package. Very strange... You could start by doing a 'touch /usr/games/frozen-bubble.wav' and see if that solves the problem. Another option would be to try to completely uninstall (apt-get remove --purge) frozen-bubble and frozen-bubble-data first, then install them again...
