Using the Update Manager I have received the following error and can't install.

Anyone else having this issue and is there a work around?


E: /var/cache/apt/archives/smc-data_1.4-1~gutsy1_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/games/smc/music/story/default_story_1.ogg', which is also in package smc-music


Thanks!

this will solve your problem: (from term)
sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/smc-data_1.4-1~gutsy1_all.deb

Seems you've externally installed the smc-music package, which provides the game music, but the new data package also provides the same music (most versions of the smc-data package don't provide music). The simplest fix is to remove smc-music from Synaptic, then try installing smc-data again.
