On my N810, logged in as root:

Code:
# apt-get -f install
...wants to update libart-2.0-2. But proceeding with this results in:

Code:
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libart-2.0-2_2.3.17-1chinook2_armel.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so.2', which is also in package libart-2.0
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libart-2.0-2_2.3.17-1chinook2_armel.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
How do I determine the nature of the hangup with libart_lgpl_2.so.2? And what are my options for dealing with this specific impass?

Beyond that, are there general strategies for resolving this sort of thing in the future? References existing docs and write-ups gladly accepted. TIA
