Running "apt-get -f install libmpeg3hv" fails with the following errors
thrown:
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/libmpeg3hv_1%3a2.0.0-1svn20060209+ubuntu_i386.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/mpeg3dump', which is also in package
mpeg3-utils
The file /usr/bin/mpeg3dump from the libmpeg3hv package is already there,
and belongs to the package mpeg3-utils. Packages are not supposed to meddle
with each other's files, and packages from the same repository rarely do.
However, when you use extra, unofficial apt sources, collisions like this
are likely to occur.
Use the force!
dpkg --force-overwrite -i
/var/cache/apt/archives/libmpeg3hv_1%3a2.0.0-1svn20060209+ubuntu_i386.deb
(notice that the location of the downloaded .deb file was
given in the error message)
Now remember which package you trespassed with this operation;
you _may_ break mpeg3-utils and its dependencies by doing this.
The fix for that is to reinstall mpeg3-utils (you'll have to use
force again). I don't think Cinelerra needs mpeg3dump anyway.
Dpkg has numerous force options. Try dpkg --force-help for more info.
