package ubufox 0.9~rc2-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/xul-ext/ubufox/chrome/ubufox.jar', which is also in package xul-ext-ubufox 0:0.9~rc2-0ubuntu2

Binary package hint: ubufox

ubufox always appears in update manager. When I attempt to install it with the other updates it fails. It's been doing this for about a month now. So I usually just uncheck ubufox and proceed with other updates.
