Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xarchon
When using synaptic to install package xarchon 0.50-9build1, synaptic
marks the package xarchon-theme-default (same version #) as a required
dependency.
However, when installing, an error occurs. The terminal output is:
" Selecting previously deselected package xarchon-theme-default.
Unpacking xarchon-theme-default (from .../xarchon-theme-
default_0.50-9build1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking xarchon (from .../xarchon_0.50-9build1_powerpc.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing

'/usr/share/games/xarchon/archon/actors/light/archer/move.right.0.xpm',
which is also in package xarchon-theme-default
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/xarchon_0.50-9build1_powerpc.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up xarchon-theme-default (0.50-9build1) ... "
Also, synaptic generates the following error window:
" E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xarchon_0.50-9build1_powerpc.deb: trying to
overwrite
`/usr/share/games/xarchon/archon/actors/light/archer/move.right.0.xpm',
which is also in package xarchon-theme-default "
The end result is that xarchon-theme-default is installed, but the
xarchon game package itself is not. Synaptic reflects this -- xarchon
remains marked for installation, while xarchon-theme-default is marked
as already installed.
