Greetings everyone. I'm having a problem trying to install debconf. I just did a full upgrade to potato this evening. I then tried to install a new package (everybuddy) that relied on debconf. When apt-get went to install debconf I got the error:
HAL9000:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i debconf_0.2.65_all.deb (Reading database ... 69770 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking debconf (from debconf_0.2.65_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing debconf_0.2.65_all.deb (--install): trying to overwrite directory `/usr/sbin' in package libcurses-perl with nondirectory Errors were encountered while processing: debconf_0.2.65_all.deb When I examined the .deb using mc I found that there is a shell script called /usr/sbin - the header of which says that it reconfigures a package by running the package's confmodule and then the postinst. Can anyone here let me know how to fix this? -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?" ICQ# 12934898 | "As far from Redmond as possible!"
