^^^^^^^^^.............................................^^^^
On rare ocassions 2 deb's contains THE SAME FILE. this is an error.
if you want to override this, use 'dpkg' to '--force-overwrite'.
this assumes that you will have to fix any errors after you install this
packages. most of the time, this is nothing. but YMMV!
