Some of the files moved from one package to another during the version cahnge, and dpkg is warning you that it's trying to overwrite a file from another package. Once you do this a few times, apt should be able to continue normally. man dpkg, man apt for more details. HTH, Steve -- A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems. -- P. Erdos
