A general advice: learn to use the BTS, it is IMHO Debian's most
important resource, especially if you run unstable. I was bitten by
that bug too, and it only took a few minutes to find and read
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471650, where a
workaround is described.

I hate to ask this, this is so stupid! I gave up using the bug search
function long ago. I can't ever find anything!
If I go to http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ and put in libjvulibre I get
nada. Same result if I search for
libdjvulibre21_3.5.20-5_i386.deb or libdjvulibre15. So, what is it my brain
does not parse that everybody else knows?
BTW, this is not to say I don't google, I find lots of fun things that way, but
I never find anything with the bug system. I am not stupid, I just don't grok
it.
Now, as to the OP issues: in unstable you get this issue often and you run
into it doing dist-upgrades from some stable or testing. No need even to
google this, just use the dpkg -i --force-overwrite
/path/in/error/message/packagename.deb OR wait until some one releases a newer
version of the package.
