Public bug reported: Binary package hint: spider
This bug might be due to a name conflict with the ace-of-penguins package. After noticing the error report icon and reading it, I tried to manually install spider and saw this error message: Unpacking spider (from .../spider_1.2-5_amd64.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/spider_1.2-5_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/games/spider', which is also in package ace-of-penguins 1.3-0ubuntu1 So I uninstalled ace-of-penguins and tried again and that time it installed fine. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
