Re: [debian-knoppix] Problem with apt-get

[Ernesto Domato <ernesto@domato.com.ar>]

Try installing the package with dpkg using the --force-overwrite option 
(note: this will overwrite the manpage installed by the package that you 
have conflicts with, in this case ash-knoppix). The package must be on 
/var/cache/apt/archive as stated on the error report. The final syntax 
would be:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/bsh_1.2b6-1_all.deb

Then, you can do "apt-get clean" to delete the packages that were 
downloaded before.

If the package is not on the specified directory, do "apt-get -d install 
bsh" so it's downloaded again but not installed. It will be left on the 
before mentioned directory.

Greetings.
Ernesto.
