scilab-bin 3.0-12.0.0.1.gcc4 upgrade fails

[Per Bojsen <per.bojsen@comcast.net>]

Hi,

I just tried to upgrade scilab-bin to 3.0-12.0.0.1.gcc4 and got the
following error:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/scilab-bin_3.0-12.0.0.1.gcc4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/scilab/bin/.scicos_pal', which is also in package scilab
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

I worked around this with dpkg --force-overwrite.
