I solved this package breakage using Synaptic, but the package in the repos should be fixed.

I just got this bug as well.

A reinstallation in Synaptic solved the problem. Here is the error message I got while updating:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mscompress_0.3-2_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/msexpand', which is also in package foo2zjs
