[Bug 1078791] Re: package default-jre-headless (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk', which is also in package openjdk-6-jre-headless 6b24-1.11.5-0ubuntu1~10.04.2

Thanks for your reply.  Yes, you're right, and I understood as much,
too.  My point in reporting the bug was, this was a freshly upgraded
system, I hadn't even had a chance to mess it up yet.  So there might be
a little bug somewhere in package dependencies, user shouldn't need to
turn to apt-get to fix a freshly upgraded system I think.

No idea if this is significant but subsequent tries to boot into the
"netbook" session don't crash anymore - the session just shows an empty
screen (apart from the desktop background image).

Also, I just noticed this looks like a duplicate of #1041773.
