xlibs package install error
hi all,
FYI, the xlibs package produces the following error on my system (woody)
Preparing to replace xlibs 4.0.1-7 (using .../xlibs_4.0.1-10_i386.deb)
...
Unpacking replacement xlibs ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.0.1-10_i386.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults', which is also in
package xcolorsel
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
this is a new problem, occuring since v4.0.1-9 (maybe -8, not sure).
the package causing the conflict is not constant, as i have received the
same error mentioning groff, xscreensaver and i think another package as
well
btw, thanks branden for a great job! i'd like to assist, but i would be
worse than useless, given the level of my skills!
cheers,
john
