(--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/games/warzone2100/mods/global/grim.wz', which 
is also in package warzone2100

Description of what I think happened:
You installed/tried to install the Warzone 2100 version included in Hardy Heron 
(warzone2100_2.1.0~0.svn3595.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb). Additionally you 
installed/tried to install the corresponding data-package. The data-package has 
at least one file that is also included in the warzone2100-package. Both files 
(grim.wz) should be exactly the same, so overwriting should not be a problem.

How you could work around this problem:
I have not checked those two packages and do not use them at all. Instead I am 
using the latest stable version (2.0.10) which is also available as a 
.deb-package at the Gna! project site 
(http://download.gna.org/warzone/releases/2.0/). It is working with Ubuntu 8.04 
Hardy Heron (i386).

I recommend to not use the more or less randomly chosen outdated svn-
versions included in the Ubuntu repositories as reporting bugs for those
versions is almost no use (one would have to verify the existance of the
bug in the current svn-version).

Possible source of the bug:
This could be a bug in the packages, but the package-maintainer could tell you 
more about it.
