libgnomeprint dependency



Greetings,

In trying to upgrade from potato/ximianGNOME/KDE2.1.1 to testing/woody, I am 
stumped by a libgnomeprint dependency. Apparently the new GNOME stuff coming 
from Debian doesn't like Ximian's version.

When apt-get dist-upgrade stopped, I tried doing apt-get -f install (which 
I'd successfully done several times previously) and got the following error:

##################################
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libgnomeprint-bin_0.28-0.1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/gnome-font-install.1.gz', which is 
also in package libgnomeprint11
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libgnomeprint-bin_0.28-0.1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
#########################################

I've tried removing the old gnomeprint with dpkg and apt, but there is still 
a dependency problem when I do that. What's the best way to resolve this 
situation?

Thanks
