In my experience apt-get is seldom able to solve it's own problems. dpkg --force-overwrite is sometimes more effective but usually I have had to resort to remove/reinstall packages to clear this sort of problem. Some times this doesn't work either because apt-get (or better, dpkg -P) removes so much else it's not practical.
It looks like the problem is with fglrx so I would try remove fglrx then reinstall it afterwords. I tried apt-get -s remove fglrx to see what would happen but it's not on my system. .

I've found that when you use dpkg and --force-overwrite it's a good idea to do all packages that errored at once.

In other words:

Code:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libxt6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-7_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibmesa-gl_4.3.0.dfsg.1-7_i386.deb

rather than running each one one at a time. They may well depend on each other or one may be a dependency for other packages that the other one depends upon.

It could also be solved by removing/reinstalling openoffice.

Even so, apt-get &/or dpkg is easily the best package management system available & is one of the big reasons I have returned to Knoppix after trying Mandrake.
I had Mandy 9.2, OK system, everything worked right off but then KDE 3.2 came out. It took me about a month to get it installed, I tried compiling from sources with out success & was only able to upgrade it after somebody posted mdk rpms for kde 3.2 which I could use; even then I had to completely remove 3.1 & install 3.2 on a clean system. With apt-get you can do it bit by bit.
Then it's just about impossible to keep Mandy up to date, with Mdk 10 out nobody is going to make rpms for 9.2 so you are on your own. No such problems with Debian, a .deb is a .deb regardless of system version.

Now I've seen lots of people complain about getting the unstable verison of KDE installed. Don't use it myself so I dunno........It's quite possible however that not all of the packages for KDE (and by george there are alot of em!) are in unstable yet so naturally you have to either build them from source yourself or wait until the package maintainers get all of the packages finished.

I'm done with apt-get. I was always having problems with the sources.list file and found apt-spy helpful for a while.

Now, I just look for whatever package I need on http://packages.debian.org and downloaded it and install it with kpackage!

But the point is that apt doesn't have an option to let you overwrite the file. None of the 'fixes' available from apt would solve the problem, I had to go to dpkg to do it.
Apt is just a front end for dpkg anyway.

kpackage also uses dpkg and it still depends on your sources.list file which you must keep up to date (tip from somewhere in these forums...use 'dselect update' instead of 'apt-get update', dselect & apt maintain separate data file, dselect update keeps them in sych but apt-get update doesn't).

If you run into a conflict problem such as the one above, you will probably still have to fix it manually, which goes back to my original statement,"apt is seldom able to fix it's own problems".

Kpackage more than just a front-end for dpkg, however as it's actually a reasonably capable package manager for rpm's. I use it a lot, primarily as a package browser 'cause it also gives descriptions of the packages. I have also tried synaptic but haven't found it to be much advantage over kpackage.

As for KDE packages, yes there are a lot of them and many are just alternatives to others...noatun & kaboodle as alternatives to xmms for instance. So far I have been using unstable without any problems. One of the real advantages to apt-get & debian KDE packages is that you can install & remove 'pieces' of the package, for instance if you want kpat you don't have to take the whole kdegames set just to get it. Not so with Mandrake, it was all or nothing. Important to me because I have a limited space system.
