Preparing to replace gnome-core 1.4.0.6-1.ximian.2 (using

Unpacking replacement gnome-core ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-core_1.4.0.6-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/omf/gnome-core/fdl-C.omf', which is also
in package gnome-help-data
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-core_1.4.0.6-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
and if i try to remove gnome-help-data, it fails likewise.
gnome is gone.
i am in sort of a double bind and removing any one is impossible.
at a full stop
