while doing 'aptitude safe-upgrade' with today's updates, I got the following error: Unpacking xenstore-utils (4.11.1~pre.20180911.5acdd26fdc+dfsg-2) over (4.8.3+xsa267+shim4.10.1+xsa267-1+deb9u9) ... dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-NA96TI/4-xenstore-utils_4.11.1~pre.20180911.5acdd26fdc+dfsg-2_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/xenstore-chmod.1.gz', which is also in package xen-utils-common 4.8.3+xsa267+shim4.10.1+xsa267-1+deb9u9 Preparing to unpack .../5-xen-utils-common_4.11.1~pre.20180911.5acdd26fdc+dfsg-2_amd64.deb ...
