--force-overwrite is for file collisions when "dpkg -i" tries to
install something ("trying to overwrite `%.250s', which is also in
package %.250s"). The node-already-exists is a fink engine
problem. Try installing fewer packages at once (install a dependency
manually first rather than installing a top-level that triggers this
error when trying to install the dependencies automaticlaly).
