Package: dpkg Version: 1.9.21 Severity: important Hi,
I don't know if this is due to an error in the .deb or in dpkg itself. When I try to install a package which replaces another one I get this error: femto:/home/eric[0]# dpkg -i tmp/mplayer-686_0.90pre6-0.4_i386.deb dpkg: considering removing mplayer-custom in favour of mplayer-686 ... dpkg: yes, will remove mplayer-custom in favour of mplayer-686.

What am I supposed to do ?
