qsynth

I'm getting this on a dist-upgrade:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/qsynth_0.2.5-2+etch1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/applications/qsynth.desktop', which is also in package 64studio-themes

  Won't go any further. Any suggestions?

Hi Christian,

Not sure why you are using "dist-upgrade"?

If you just leave things as they are your system will
still update/upgrade ok,
but you will always see the error message.

On a default 64studio install.
This is how I got my system back to 64studio defaults.

# apt-get update
# apt-get remove qsynth
# apt-get --reinstall install 64studio-themes

# dpkg -l | grep qsynth

Will confirm qsynth is ok.

I am not sure how a dist-upgrade install will work.
you may have changed other dependencies? 

 From now on:

# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# [no] = [n]
# apt-get install (all in upgrade list except qsynth)

Cheers!
dave.
