[rn's debs] kdelibs overwrite problem



Ralf,

Thanks for your continual updates...

There is an overwrite problem between kdelibs4 and libkdefakes4.

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs4_4%3a3.1.0-0woody2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libkdefakes.so.4.1.0', which is also in package libkdefakes4

Unfortunatly there is no easy way out of this as trying to remove libkdefakes4
is not possible without removing kdelibs4 and the rest of KDE :-(

The only way out, short of uninstalling all of KDE and reinstalling is to
--force-overwrite:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite kdelibs4_4%3a3.1.0-0woody2_i386.deb

Which is not recommended for the faint hearted.

Perhaps kdelibs4 should include a Replaces: libkdefakes4 header.

Mark
