Problem upgrading eclipse

[David Goodenough <david.goodenough@btconnect.com>]

I tried to apt-get dist-upgrade today and when upgrading eclipse it came
up with the the following complaint:-

error processing eclipse-xerces_4.0.7-1_all.deb 
trying to overwrite 
/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.xerces_4.0.7/xercesImpl.jar
which is also in package eclipse-platform.

Any ideas?
