package spider (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/games/spider', which is also in package ace-of-penguins 1.3-0ubuntu1

[J K Cunningham]

Binary package hint: spider

This bug might be due to a name conflict with the ace-of-penguins package. After noticing the error report icon and reading it, I tried to manually install spider and saw this error message:

Unpacking spider (from .../spider_1.2-5_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/spider_1.2-5_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/games/spider', which is also in package ace-of-penguins 1.3-0ubuntu1

So I uninstalled ace-of-penguins and tried again and that time it installed fine.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
