Trying to upgrade TeX I got this error:
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/texlive-binaries_2009-5_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/dviselect.1.gz', which is also in package dviutils
The fix was to force the overwrite like this:
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/texlive-binaries_2009-5_i386.deb
And then:
sudo apt-get -f install
Hopefully that won't cause problems in the future.
