Woody: trying to overwrite `/usr/ ... /iso64101.res
I hope that this is the right place to report an errror for openoffice
backported to Woody. In my sources.list I have
deb ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/linux/packages/openoffice-debian woody main contrib
Today I wrote apt-get update and upgrade and I got an error with
broken packages. Most o my xterm history is gone, but the end of the
error message looked like this
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/openoffice/program/resource/iso64101.res', which is also in package openoffice.org
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/openoffice.org-l10n-en_1.0.1-6_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Then I did
nissefisken# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/openoffice.org-l10n-en_1.0.1-6_all.deb
(Reading database ... 140440 files and directories currently installed.)

I don't know much about Linux, but I would very much like to be
helpful. Thanks for all the work you guys do for Debian :)
