Login as root at another console, go into /var/cache/apt/archives, and type dpkg -i --force-overwrite libqt2*deb * you might need to quit out of dselect before doing this. You can type dpkg --force-help at a prompt to get a list of force options for dpkg. This sort of thing crops up now and again with the odd package. Usually gets fixed sooner or later. Jonathan.
