Well Im not totally sure, but you could try figureing out what packages
depend on libgal 18 and libaspell110. Get the .debs from the archives.
Then pull a dpkg -force-depends-version After that just proceed with the
dist-upgrade. I also remember something about divert. I am looking for
it, but if my memory serves me, it lets you tell dpkg not to overwrite a
certain file but instead rename it to another. Like I said I am looking
for where it is but havent found it yet. I hope this helps some.
