Hmm. That looks as though you've already had the GetDeb lives package installed, which by the looks of doesn't upgrade nicely to the official packages. Can you try a 'sudo apt-get remove lives' to remove the GetDeb package, and then 'sudo apt-get install lives' to install the official ones from the repository. I'll look into creating a fix.

Ok that worked - thanks
