libpisock

I am not sure what I installed, but everytime I do a apt-get dist-upgrade, it downloads and unpacks, but doesn't set up any programs. I have to do an apt-get -f install to install the packages, except for libpisock.

Any help on this matter is appreciated.

Try cd /var/cache/apt/archives then dpkg -i --force-overwrite libpisock8_1%3a0.11.5-4.ximian.1_i386.deb that should overwrite the file that is preventing it from installing this done as root. BTW you should file a bug against the package it should not contain a file that is already on the system in another package.
