Hi there.
I am having some file conflicts when upgrading the licenses package, and I
don't understand why?
Here is the error:

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (1): licenses-2.5-1

Total Download Size:    0.00 MB
Total Installed Size:   0.46 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
checking package integrity...
(1/1) checking for file conflicts

error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/FDL exists in filesystem
licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL exists in filesystem
licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt exists in filesystem
licenses: /usr/share/licenses/common/LGPL exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

But the files it is complaining about belong to "licenses" already.

/usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt is owned by licenses 2.4-1

So my question is, why are this errors hapening?

Regards.
