	This tends to happen typically in one of two situations:

	(1), you have used an experimental or unofficial package that
contains the file that would be overwritten.  In this case you should
first install the corresponding official package.

	(2), there is a temporary conflict in sid due to only some of
a whole batch of packages having being already accepted in sid.  In
this case, you can either (a) wait a few days, perhaps checking the
‘excuses’ file whose address I don’t remember or (b) force the file
overwriting with dpkg instead of apt-get.

	 But be careful with forcing stuff.
