I've just installed Debian Woody for PowerPC and I have some dependency
problems with apt-get.  After the base install, when Debian booted I
selected a fairly minimal set to just get the machine up and going, such
as C/C++ so I can rebuild a kernel and XWindow System.  

I used mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au as my source and when apt-get had received
all of the packages, it goes to install and then hits an error like
this:

libopenldap-runtime 1_3a1.2.12-1
error processing libopenldap-runtime 1_3a1.2.12-1
trying to overwrite ldapsearchprefs which is also in libldap2

(I can't get the exact message because hardly any programs are
installed, no ftp etc)

I tried using apt-get -f dist-upgrade or removing the
libopenldap-runtime package but with no success. I get into a chain
reaction of dependcy problems if I try to remove any packages depending
on this.

Can anyone offer some advice as to how to get around this apt-get error
so I can get some useful programs installed ?

Thanks

Tim
