BigglesPiP: Sorry about the delay. Yes, the problem is that both packages try to write to the same location. However the fix for this can come in various different ways, for instance removing the file from either package, moving it or placing the content in some package- separate place. And without knowing how it was resolved, it is hard to tell whether (or even which of) the packages can be updated in 12.04. So someone should investigate how this was fixed, and whether/how that fix can be included in 12.04. Hope this clarifies things. :)
