Unpacking man-db (from man-db_2.3.18-8_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing man-db_2.3.18-8_i386.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite directory '/usr/share/locale/de' in package
texinfo with nondirectory
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
man_db_2.3.18-8_i386.deb

please note that i typed the above out, so, please forgive any typos.

I forgot to mention that this is not the only package isntallation
that gives this error. other packages, some from gnome etc. are also
giving me very similar messages. Also, the dist is woody.

thanx
