Anyone know how to fix the following dependency problem?
debianx:~# apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
libssh2-0 libmpeg3-1 libntfs-3g10
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
libmpich1.0ldbl
Suggested packages:
mpich-bin
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libmpich1.0ldbl
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 20 not upgraded.
3 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/635kB of archives.
After unpacking 1876kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y
(Reading database ... 209320 files and directories currently
installed.)
THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO START HERE...
Unpacking libmpich1.0ldbl (from .../
libmpich1.0ldbl_1.2.7-3.1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/
libmpich1.0ldbl_1.2.7-3.1_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/mpich/lib/shared/libfmpich.so.1.0',
which is also in package libmpich1.0c2
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libmpich1.0ldbl_1.2.7-3.1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Thanks

libmpich1.0c2 is no longer (officially) in unstable. You need to upgrade,
remove or locally rebuild any installed packages which depend on it, after
which you can safely remove it.
(You should probably use aptitude to go through your installed packages,
marking libraries, at least, as automatically installed; but be careful of
what this would mark as scheduled for removal.)

Thanks! i took the "direct" approach, removed
the offending package and then did a "dpkg -i --force"
(dangerous but it was really not a library
that affected things outside a narrow area).
It worked.

I've heard a lot good about Slackware but I have done so well
with Debian, with relatively few or no problems over the course
of a year, and with so many things working that I wanted, that
I am happy with it. I fixed the problem with a dpkg -i --force,
risky but it worked.
Thanks
