problem updating to potato



When trying to update to potato I get the following error:

(Reading database ... 20980 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking util-linux (from .../util-linux_2.10d-5_sparc.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux_2.10d-5_sparc.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh', which is also in package
clock
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux_2.10d-5_sparc.deb
E: Sub-process returned an error code (1)
Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the
packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors
or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors
above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall
again
Press enter to continue.


This is part of util-linux... so I am very wary of rebooting, I have no
idea how this will affect the system.  Any ideas on how to fix it?
