Re: update problem



That would be nice if I could get the command to work.  Is it 
dpkg -i --force-overwrite xlibs_4.1.0-6_i386.deb
If this is not then can you tell me how to get past this error?
here is the error I am getting:

schserv:~# dpkg -i --force-overwrite xlibs
dpkg: error processing xlibs (--install):
 cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
 xlibs
schserv:~# dpkg -i --force-overwrite xlibs_4.1.0-6_i386.deb
dpkg: error processing xlibs_4.1.0-6_i386.deb (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:

schserv:~# dpkg -i --force-overwrite xlibs_4.1.0-6
dpkg: error processing xlibs_4.1.0-6 (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:

Thanks for the help.
