apt-get dist-upgrade errors
I know it's not laptop specific but:
when I attempt to do an upgrade of e2fsprogs I get this error:
zeus:/# apt-get install e2fsprogs

trying to overwrite `/lib/libcom_err.so.2.1', which is also in package
libcomerr2
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Has anyone else encountered this or knows how I can get around it?
I was thinking about removing libcomerr2 but wasn't sure.
cheers,
Ben
