dpkg-deb error on routine system update

[Kestreln8144]

I have 14.04 Trusty.

While running a routine sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, I ran into this error:

Unpacking libefl (201603312131-31982~ubuntu14.04.1) over (201603242131-31876~ubuntu14.04.1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libefl_201603312131-31982~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libelementary.so.1.17.99', which is also in package libelementary 201603242216-12490~ubuntu14.04.1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libefl_201603312131-31982~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb

Running sudo apt-get -f install gives the same error.

What might've caused this?

I've fixed it.

I have elementary libs installed because I use Terminology. I don't know how this problem occurred, but here is what I did:

1. sudo dpkg -r libelementary
2. sudo apt-get purge terminology
3. sudo apt-get autoremove
4. Restart machine.
5. sudo apt-get install terminology

And the packages appear to have installed correctly. (And Terminology works.)

I did immediately after posting my solution, and I can see it marked as solved. Is it not showing up for you?

Yes it is thank you very much
