    xscreensaver-data-extra - install config errors

    Hi all

    Tried to install more screensavers than default which required xscreensaver-data-extra as a dependency.

    Unfortunately there is a conflict with pacman (previously installed for the kids).
    Code:
    asd@asd-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install xscreensaver-data-extra
    
    snip
    
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
     xscreensaver-data-extra
    0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 205 not upgraded.
    1 not fully installed or removed.
    Need to get 0B/3,294kB of archives.
    After this operation, 8,458kB of additional disk space will be used.
    (Reading database ... 192369 files and directories currently installed.)
    Unpacking xscreensaver-data-extra (from .../xscreensaver-data-extra_5.08-0ubuntu5_i386.deb) ...
    dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xscreensaver-data-extra_5.08-0ubuntu5_i386.deb (--unpack):
     trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man6/pacman.6.gz', which is also in package pacman 0:10-17ubuntu1
    When I try to get rid of pacman via "sudo apt-get remove pacman" I get the following:
    Code:
    asd@asd-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get remove pacman
    
    snip
    
    You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     kscreensaver-xsavers-extra: Depends: xscreensaver-data-extra but it is not going to be installed                                         
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
    "apt-get -r install" wants me to install SC 4.4.2 (which I would rather not do until this is sorted).
    Ditto with "sudo dpkg --configure -a".


    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Many thanks

    Andy
