Package: dpkg
Version: 1.7.2
Severity: important

I use debian woody in 2 computers, and both have the same problem:

When I upgrade a package, which overwrites another package's lib, it crashes. I need to remove the package, and the install the new one.

I use dselect as a front-end for dpkg, so I usually install and update packages with this.

Some dpkg output:

Unpacking replacement killustrator ...
Replacing files in old package koffice-common ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/killustrator_2.0-final-8_i386.deb (--unpack):

It is not a kde-bug, because I experienced it with mysql also.

It doesn't crash, it detects an error in the package and aborts.
Use dpkg --force-overwrite (in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg for example) and
file a bugreport for the broken packages.
