[Bug 547244] Re: package libatk1.0-dev 1.29.92-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/gir-1.0/Atk-1.0.gir', which is also in package gobject-introspection-repository 0:0.6.5-0ubuntu1

[Francois]

I am also impact with this bug.
The problem is that packages gobject-introspection-repository does not exist anymore in Lucid.
The source package need to be update in debian/control.in, the maintainer need to add gobject-introspection-repository into the replace line.
As i did not want to compile it, here is a work around.

You will need to do the same for libgtk2.0-dev_2.20.0-0ubuntu4
