package chromium-browser-l10n 29.0.1547.65-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/chromium-browser/remoting_locales/th.pak', which is also in package chromium-browser 28.0.1500.71-0ubuntu3

Chromium browser package was broken after a dist-upgrade. Running Synaptic located and finished the download of Chromium. However when I logged into KDE (since that is where the majority of the upgrades were) I encounter this error.
Could be just taht the problem didn't "hit" KDE at first.

Ubuntu 13.10.

Got the same issue, using synaptic : it can be upgraded (10n) in a second step. But then chromium has no menu at all, meaning unusable. Back to 28 from main.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

If you still have this issue, can you try uninstalling and reinstalling Chromium?

sudo apt-get remove chromium-browser* chromium-codecs-ffmpeg*
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

Thanks....I used a live usb to correct the problem and ended up with less
functionality than I had so I did a clean install. All is well.(except for
the occasional bug LOL)
