(Reading database ... 104097 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace msr-tools 1.2-3 (using .../msr-tools_1.3-1_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement msr-tools ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/msr-tools_1.3-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/cpuid.1.gz', which is also in package cpuid 20130610-2
Ouch!  Got SIGSEGV, dying..
Segmentation fault


Any ideas?


Chris.
