[Bug 880426] Re: package gimp-help-en 2.4.1-2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package gimp-help-en is already installed and configured

[Andrew B]

I think I fixed this.  Not sure.

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp-help-en_2.6.1-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get install -f


This type of error found during the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 is not intuitive enough for an end user to fix.  Ideally, the upgrade would do the same, removing the /var/cache/apt/archive for the offending package, and re-download the update.
