You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openoffice.org-java-common: Depends: bsh (>= 2.0b4-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
RESULT=100

So I try 'apt-get -f install' and get the following errors

dpkg: error processing /var/cahe/apt/archives/bsh_2.0b4-2_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to ovewrite /usr/share/man/man1/bsh.1.gz , which is also in package as h-knoppix
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cahce/apt/archives/bsh_2.04-2_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I dont know where to go from here, any advise apreciated.

Thanks
