I cannot install the latest xlibs (xlibs_4.0.1-5_i386.deb) on my Woody system because it complains about /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. I get the following error message using apt-get or dpkg:
Preparing to replace xlibs 4.0.1-3 (using xlibs_4.0.1-5_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement xlibs ... dpkg: error processing xlibs_4.0.1-5_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults', which is also in package groff dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: xlibs_4.0.1-5_i386.deb If I remove groff, dpkg complains about another package which refers to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults, and so on. Is there a workaround? -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000
