    An error to even 1 package stops the upgrade

    Upgraded via DVDrom. gets about 1/3 the way through then get this error message. It cannot be fixed, and prevents all of the other packages from installing. So right now I have a 1/3rd complete upgrade. Afraid to turn off or restart my computer for fear of the consequences. Completely and totally unfixable.

    Code:
    Unpacking replacement human-theme ...
    dpkg: error processing /cdrom//pool/main/h/human-theme/human-theme_0.18_all.deb (--unpack):
     trying to overwrite `/usr/share/applications/screensavers/ubuntu_theme.desktop', which is also in package gnome-screensaver
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     /cdrom//pool/main/h/human-theme/human-theme_0.18_all.deb
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    Those with this problem do:

    sudo dpkg --purge gnome-screensaver

    then when the upgrade is finished reinstall gnome-screensaver.
