LinuxQuestions.org - apt-get error blocking all new packages and upgrades

Hi all,

Code:

gnychis@monster:~$ sudo apt-get install gtkpod

[sudo] password for gnychis:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree      

Reading state information... Done

gtkpod is already the newest version.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

  gtkpod: Depends: libgpod2 but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).



gnychis@monster:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

The following extra packages will be installed:

  libgpod2

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  libgpod2

0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 10 not upgraded.

1 not fully installed or removed.

Need to get 0B/181kB of archives.

After unpacking 385kB of additional disk space will be used.

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y

Unpacking libgpod2 (from .../libgpod2_0.5.2-2_i386.deb) ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libgpod2_0.5.2-2_i386.deb (--unpack):

 trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libgpod.so.2.0.0', which is also in package libgpod1

dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Errors were encountered while processing:

 /var/cache/apt/archives/libgpod2_0.5.2-2_i386.deb

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This error is blocking the installation of all packages, so I would greatly appreciate any help.
