Hi everybody,

user@Linuxbox:~# apt-get -f install

The following extra packages will be installed:

Need to get 0B/27.3kB of archives.
After unpacking 135kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xcursor/Xcursor.h', which is also in package xlibs-dev
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Yes change to the archives directory use su to become root and force the overwrite of the package, from a console window:
Code:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
su
password:******
dpkg -i --force-overwrite libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-2_i386.deb

Thanks Stefen - now it works fine, but I got a little bit confused with the messages. I did
dpkg -i --force-overwrite libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-2_i386.deb
it showed me the following message:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libxcursor-dev:
libxcursor-dev depends on libxcursor1 (= 1.0.2-2); however:
Package libxcursor1 is not configured yet.
So I installed libcursor1
user@Linuxbox:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get install libxcursor1

libxcursor1 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
408 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
It sounds funny, but now everything works fine

The libcursor1 status was not configured because of the error installing the -dev file when you went to install it the package system seen that it was installed and set the status properly most likely it is all part of the same bug. I notice that you have a large number of packages not fully installed as well because of the error if you have not already done it you should upgrade again to finish the install of the programs.

Your are right - I got the problem after an apt-get dist-upgrate so it tried to upgrade all installed packeges. Anyhow it seems to be an small bug in the dev file. But now it´s working and I´m very impressed about my new Knoppix Installation. Thanks for your help.
