Hi Thomas,

Thomas> ia32-libs conflict error during apt-get upgrade

Thomas> dpkg: error processing

I also got a conflict on the ia32-libs upgrade, but a different one:

Unpacking replacement ia32-libs ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ia32-libs_1.2.0.0.1.gcc4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/lib/ld-linux.so.2', which is also in package libc6-i386  

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 is only a symlink so I didn't worry about having to
do:

  dpkg -i --force-overwrite \
  /var/cache/apt/archives/ia32-libs_1.2.0.0.1.gcc4_amd64.deb

to fix the error.

It looks like things are moving around between lic6-i386 and
ia32-libs . . .
