Package: libwxgtk2.4-python Version: 2.4.2.6 Followup-For: Bug #308420 My sid system has both wxpython2.5.3 and libwxgtk2.4-python 2.4.2.6 currently installed.
Apt wants to upgrade libwxgtk2.4-python to libwxgtk2.4-python_2.4.3.1_i386.deb but cannot because of this /usr/bin/helpviewer conflict: Preparing to replace libwxgtk2.4-python 2.4.2.6 (using ..../libwxgtk2.4-python_2.4.3.1_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libwxgtk2.4-python ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libwxgtk2.4-python_2.4.3.1_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/helpviewer', which is also in package wxpython2.5.3 dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Removing the offending and now 'not in debian' package offers to remove most of debian, I'd rather not. :) Surely there is a solution? If the package is 'not in debian' how will it get removed? I can see that there has been angst over this problem, but I'm just a debian user, and my system is stuck on this, and I guess so are others. Can someone suggest a solution so that we can proceed please?
