request: electricsheep 2.6.3

[John Dong]

Use dpkg --install --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives
/electricsheep_2.6.2-1~5.04ubp1_i386.deb
to install the package.

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.

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.
