Hi. Who should I tell about a package-file conflict? It looks like the man page for `ant' (a Java build tool) conflicts with the man page for `ant', a display hack in the xscreensaver distribution: washer:/home/jbarilla# apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Correcting dependencies... Done The following extra packages will be installed: xscreensaver 1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 37 packages not fully installed or removed.
