Wanted to try Acroread. The package acroread-debian-files would not install. There are no dependency problems.
I switched to apt-get at the prompt. About line 111 below I dpkg-configure says it can't overwrite a man file. So I try to move that file in line 122 to no avail. Now aptitude refuses to uninstall Adobe Reader. :) Haven't tried uninstalling Acroread yet. Any insights appreciated! 1 root@Europa:/home/freeman# aptitude install acroread-debian-files 2 The following NEW packages will be installed: 3 acroread-debian-files 4 The following partially installed packages will be configured: 5 acroread acroread-data acroread-dictionary-en acroread-escript 6 acroread-l10n-en acroread-plugins mozilla-acroread 7 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded. 8 Need to get 0 B/18.7 kB of archives.
