apt-get package problem

[Grell]

Hello, I am having an issue when I am trying to update my system using apt-get update and I apt-get dist-upgrade and I am getting this error:

So apt-get keeps failing. Anyone know what the problem is? I am using Debian Sid on amd64 arch. Thank you.

Just wait a bit https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=859514

Sid users should expect that kind of thing! They should also know how to read the dpkg man page and use the "--force" if they want to try and work around an conflicting file like that.

I hit that problem last night in siduction. Tried again a bit later and it was fixed with a new replacement package in the repo.
Standard sid problem.
