I personally just download the offending *.deb file(s) manually and
do, for example:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite passwd_1%3a4.0.3-3_i386.deb

I just last week did a woody->sarge upgrade and had to do this a
couple of times. Nothing seems broken so far as a result.

It hasn't been fixed yet: the bug is still open.

error upgrading woody to sid (passwd)

2002-10-01 Thread Sebastian Schinzel

Hi!

I have trouble upgrading from woody to sid:

The error after #apt-get dist-upgrade is:


Preparing to replace passwd 2902-12 (using
.../passwd_1%3a4.0.3-3_i386.deb) 
...
Unpacking replacement passwd ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/passwd_1%3a4.0.3-3_i386.deb (--un
pack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/de/man1/chsh.1.gz', which is also
in packag
e manpages-de
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)


Ok. Finally it worked by removing manpages-de, but thats not very
elegant.

This bug seems to be reported at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=162097&repeatmerged=yes
Its from 09/23 and for me it sounds that they fixed it.

Does anyone know a better solution for this?
Shall I write a new bugreport about this (never done this before)?
