I ran an apt-get upgrade and for the first time ever (testament to the
perfection of Debian) I got an error:

Preparing to replace lives-data 1:1.0.0-0.0 (using
.../lives-data_1%3a1.3.10-0.1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement lives-data ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/lives-data_1%3a1.3.10-0.1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/build-lives-rfx-plugin', which is also
in package lives 1:1.0.0-0.0
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/lives-data_1%3a1.3.10-0.1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Tried Google, but not sure what part of that to google, mostly get no
hits. It looks like I've got a permissions problem, it can't overwrite
the old binaries?

First time I've ever run into this, so I'm lost. Any hints?

Thanks!
