upgrade fails for debianutils



Hi!

When doing the occasional apt-get upgrade, I got this error:

Preparing to replace debianutils 1.16 (using
.../debianutils_1.16.2woody1_alpha.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement debianutils ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/debianutils_1.16.2woody1_alpha.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/bin/readlink', which is also in package coreutils
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/debianutils_1.16.2woody1_alpha.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The system is stable, with some testing and unstable packages. Coreutils
is the stable one. Does anybody know how I can work this out?

Regards,

/Joakim
