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.
