[Bug 390561] Re: package libkipi0 0.1.6-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/kipi.png', which is also in package libkipi-common

[josh]

I'm in the middle of performing a dist-upgrade from intrepid to jaunty,
and I got the same error as the OP. I did a "sudo apt-get install
libkipi-common", and everything else continued to install as normal
(skipping libkipi0, apparently), but libkipi0 still won't install.
Here's an excerpt from my console:
