Hi,

I decided to upgrade my etch box to lenny/sid but an apt-get dist-upgrade got stuck.  Please let me know what could be done here.

Thanks a lot.

i wonder if you could do this:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libbonobo2-common_2.22.0-1_all.deb

i've had to use --force-overwrite from time to time...

Forgot to reply all.

Still getting the same error of

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libbonobo2-common_2.22.0-1_all.deb (--unpack):


 unable to make backup link of `./usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/libbonobo-2.0.mo' before installing new version: Operation not permitted
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Got the same error with apt-get -f install

And the file

/usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/libbonobo-2.0.mo

is so weird that even sudo rm  /usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/libbonobo-2.0.mo said I don't have the permission to do so.  (Operation not permitted)
