xserver-xorg config warning: Migrating xserver-xfree86 debconf values to xserver-xorg. (Reading database ... 153139 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking x11-common (from .../x11-common_1%3a7.0.22_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.0.22_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/bin', which is also in package catdoc Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.0.22_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
So I used dpkg --force-overwrite to install such packages. What do people normally do with such errors? Is there a place to look up such things?
Use dpkg-divert. `man dpkg-divert` for more info. Search the Internet for howtos on this. Regards, BG
