fvwm-common in testing
I am trying to upgrade to testing. The only problem I know about yet
is that the fvwm-common package doesn't install. It complains about
"trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/keyboard.xpm'".
I use dselect. Here is the complaint in full:
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/290kB of archives. After unpacking 1230kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
(Reading database ... 48799 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking fvwm-common (from .../fvwm-common_2.2.4-2_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/fvwm-common_2.2.4-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/keyboard.xpm', which is also in package xlibs
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/fvwm-common_2.2.4-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg 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.
I'd appreciate explanations or advice.
