package gnome-themes-standard (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/themes/LowContrast/gtk-2.0/gtkrc', which is also in package gnome-accessibility-themes-extras 2.32.1-0ubuntu1

[Randymanme]

I was using synaptic package manager to install a few dozen gnome theme and icon packages. Following the installation of the other packages, I tried to install gnome-themes-standard by itself. Still didn't install.

Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu Classic desktop
I expect to see more theme options in "Appearances."

Thank you folks for all the good work you do.
