I encountered the same problem yesterday. Try going to /var/cache/apt/archives or something (don't remember the exact location), where apt keeps its downloaded .debs. >From in there, I did dpkg -i --force-depends --force-overwrite the_debs_in_question. This worked. On a side note, I've been having a lot of these problems ever since the upgrade of dpkg. For instance, apt-get doesn't install packages that contain files or documents included in other packages too. Before, this did happen (mentioning something about force-overwrite being automatically selected). Is it possible to get apt-get to do this again? -- War doesn't prove who's right, just who's left.
