Hi,
when I do an "aptitude upgrade" I a new boxbackup package is recommended
for installation. During the installation I get the following error
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/boxbackup-server_0.10-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/bbstored-certs', which is also in
package boxbackup-utils
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/boxbackup-server_0.10-1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
and the upgrade fails.
Is anybody experiencing the same problem with the packages from
debian.myreseau.org (deb http://debian.myreseau.org/ etch main)?
Previous history: I did a switch from sarge to etch a few weeks ago,
maybe there is a coincidence?
btw: I solved the problem with
dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/boxbackup-server_0.10-1_i386.deb
but I don't think that's the way it's meant to be...
btw2: I there a signature file or package for the debian boxbackup
archive to avoid the warning regarding system security?
