Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gtk2-engines

Upon performing and aptitude dist-upgrade I am unable to get
gtk2-engines to install for edgy eft.

The issue even when attempted to be fixed by aptitude -f install fails
to go away, and the error is shown below:

Need to get 0B/343kB of archives.
After unpacking 926kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y

>From here it seems simply that the two packages are conflicting over the
one file.
