All these error messages (I saw a lot of them in the last time)
depends on dpkg not having '--force-overwrite' set in
apt.conf. Strange enough it doesn't honour the option as given in the
/usr/doc/apt/examples/apt.conf (maybe I should write a bug report).

Of course installing manually with 'dpkg -i --force-overwrite *.deb'
works.
