I was bitten by that bug too, and it only took a few minutes to find and read http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471650, where a workaround is described. Sven
If I go to http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ and put in libjvulibre I get nada. Same result if I search for
libdjvulibre21_3.5.20-5_i386.deb or libdjvulibre15. So, what is it my brain does not parse that everybody else knows? BTW, this is not to say I don't google, I find lots of fun things that way, but I never find anything with the bug system. I am not stupid, I just don't grok it. Now, as to the OP issues: in unstable you get this issue often and you run into it doing dist-upgrades from some stable or testing. No need even to google this, just use the dpkg -i --force-overwrite /path/in/error/message/packagename.deb OR wait until some one releases a newer version of the package. -- Damon L.
