Problem updating libgeos-c1 and libgeos-dev

[Agustin Lobo]

At running the automatic update under ubuntu 10.04, I get the following 
error related to libgeos-c1:


Errors were encountered while processing:
  /var/cache/apt/archives/libgeos++-dev_3.3.1-4lucid1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

to overwrite '/usr/lib/libgeos_c.a', which is also in package libgeos-dev 0

Is this a problem with the libgeos-dev binary?


Thanks for your assistance,
