For packages were you can ensure that they won't break your system, you can run "dpkg -i --force-overwrite PACKAGE.deb". In this case you should diff "/usr/include/scsi/scsi.h" of the two packages, maybe they don't diff, then you can use --force-overwrite. In other cases you are able to see that --force-overwrite won't damage your system, e.g. if there is such a conflict because of firmware you aren't using. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
