odd apt error
Would someone mind helping me with this? I was doing an update/upgrade and it keeps dying with this error message: Unpacking libiec61883-0 (from .../libiec61883-0_1.0.0-0.1_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libiec61883-0_1.0.0-0.1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libiec61883.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libiec61883 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libiec61883-0_1.0.0-0.1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) maybe there is a way to skip this file and let it upgrade the rest?
