Problems installing Showfoto in Edgy Kubuntu.
 
I'm running the Edgy version of Kubuntu and am having a problem when I try to install the showfoto sub app for digikam. Here is the error message I get if I use apt-get from the command line, but the same error comes up using synaptic or Adept as well.
Code:
Unpacking showfoto (from .../showfoto_1%3a0.8.2-2ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/showfoto_1%3a0.8.2-2ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/showfoto.png', which is also in package digikam
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/showfoto_1%3a0.8.2-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I looked for /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/showfoto.png thinking I could rename it and solve the problem that way, but it doesn't exist. However, there is a file named "showfoto.png.old" in the same directory.

Has anyone else seen this? Any thoughts on what I might try to overcome this error?

The error is because digikam and showfoto share a file. It looks like it is just an icon or something (/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/showfoto.png). You can force showfoto to overwrite that file to allow it to install:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/showfoto_1%3a0.8.2-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
