Running an apt-get dist-upgrade as for tonight on woody reports the
following error:

.../...

Preparing to replace util-linux 2.11h-1 (using
.../util-linux_2.11l-3_powerpc.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement util-linux ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux_2.11l-3_powerpc.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man8/clock.8.gz', which is also in
package powerpc-utils
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux_2.11l-3_powerpc.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


So far the only I found to come around this is to remove the powerpc-utils.
This package won't install if the util-linux is already installed and vice
and versa. apt-get install -f will result in the same error.
