Re: netstd_3.03 problem, KDE problem
The 'normal' default for dpkg is "--force-overwrite". This is disabled
in hamm (frozen) currently to make detection of just the sort of error
that you encounted easier to find.
Check the bug list and report if it is not already there. You can use
dpkg --install --force-overwrite <package name> or you can go through
the 'access' selection again and choose to enable the force overwrite
for dselect.
