Debian Testing Upgrade Problem (amd64)

[William O'Higgins Witteman]

If you are running Debian testing on a 64-bit architecture with Flash,
you may run into a conflict in a upgrade to ia32-libs, pushed last
night.

This updated package conflicts with ia32-libs-workaround-499043, which
some may have installed to get Flash working.  If this is you, here is
how I resolved the issue last night:

apt-get dist-upgrade
FUBAR!
.. much research and hunting for solutions

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/ia32-libs_20101117_amd64.deb
apt-get -f install

Works!

I apologize for the long line - most of you will be using mailreaders
which gracefully accept my indiscretion, and hopefully not having a line
break will help out some user, somewhere.
-- 

yours,

William
