Am trying to install 0.5.8.7-1 on Hardy Heron (8.04) but its failing on overwrite of files:

sudo dpkg -i deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy.deb
(Reading database ... 113595 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace deluge-torrent 0.5.8.6-1 (using deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement deluge-torrent ...
dpkg: error processing deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/locale/si/LC_MESSAGES/deluge.mo', which is also in package deluge-torrent-common
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy.deb


Can anyone help?

what happens if you simply uninstall "deluge-torrent-common"

uninstall any existing deluge or deluge-torrent before trying the deb again.

thanks, I did a remove of the old client and installed 0.5.8.7-1 and all is working well.

I was a little worried that it would remove all my config if I removed the app, but everything stayed.

thanks for the help
