Unfortunately, two different versions of Electricsheep are present in
two package (xscreensaver and electricsheep) -- APT doesn't like to
assume that you'd want to overwrite existing files, so drops out at
this error.<br>
<br>
this is an upstream packaging bug that can't be solved via the
Backports team. If it really bothers you, file a bug against either
electricsheep or xscreensaver in Ubuntu's Bugzilla.<br>
