Bug#791349: downloading texlive-latex-extra and then doing dpkg -i --force-overwrite
Hi all,
While the workaround that Norbert shares works :-
$] sudo aptitude download texlive-latex-extra=2015.20150703-1
[sudo] password for shirish:
Get: 1 http://httpredir.debian.org//debian/ unstable/main
texlive-latex-extra all 2015.20150703-1 [9,670 kB]

[$] sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite

The verbose verbiage given by aptitude is because I, a somewhere
paranoid person likes to know what is happening.
But the 'excuse' given by Norbert does not hold as the same root issue
can be seen in mate and kde as well and they did the change of
replaces/breaks that it requires/required.
See #790806 #790802 #790866 and #790919 for similar bugs. One is only
happy it wasn't texlive-latex-extra-doc which would have taken lot
of time.
