• Bug#265953: hmmm

    From [email protected]@1:229/2 to All on Sat Aug 21 06:10:06 2004
    Thanks for the info...however

    I guess I am not familiar enough with apt-get to resolve the conflict.
    I've dont' apt-get clean, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and it fails as expected, but what do I do now to clean that up?

    I guess I am asking what commands do I need to run to remove a conflict?
    do I know have to apt-get remove some packages? If I try that, it's going
    to want to remove a bunch of gnome apps which I'd rather not have to do...

    again, any more help??

    The conflict won't be resolved until gtksourceview 1.0.1-4 is uploaded
    into unstable and that won't happen until a server admin manually
    changes the override file (I separated the documentation into a
    a new libgtksourceview-doc package).

    In the meantime you can always use:
    # dpkg -i force-overwrite package.deb
    to force a package to overwrite files belonging to another.

    Yours sincerely,
    Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
