overwriting files

[Regnat Nikolaus <nregnat@gmx.de>]

Hi there!

I'm trying to create a package which replaces the black cursor from XFree86 
with a white one. Unfortunately it is not possible to install a packge which 
overwrites files already installed by another package. I get the following 
message if I try to install my package:

--------------------
Unpacking cursorsmall (from cursorsmall_1-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing cursorsmall_1-1_i386.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/cursor.pcf.gz', which is 
also in package xfonts-base
Errors were encountered while processing:
 cursorsmall_1-1_i386.deb
--------------------

Is there a way to achive this?

Thanks


Nik
