Hi all,

I am trying to install 'ncurses-bin' package from repositories but got an error as described below:

Nokia770-26:~# apt-get install ncurses-bin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:

After unpacking 414kB of additional disk space will be used.

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ncurses-bin_5.5-1_armel.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/clear', which is also in package busybox
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/ncurses-bin_5.5-1_armel.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I checked what is /usr/bin/clear and it was a symbolic link to /usr/bin/busybox. Then I tried to remove this link so there is no '/usr/bin/clear' anymore but it does not help. I get the same error as before.

I would be grateful for your ideas how to fix this.

Andrey
