dist-upgrade error on hoary to breezy

[Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues]

Well, IMHO people should not be changing to breezy so quickly, in 2 or
3 months would be ok tough ;)

These problems can be fixed by [1]:

1 - Removing libdbus-cil using dpkg and asking for apt to fix the
resulting mess:

$ sudo dpkg -r libdbus-cil
$ sudo apt-get -f install

2 - You can install mono-assemblies-base with dpkg using the
--force-overwrite option, that makes dpkg to overwrite the conflicting
files (should be avoided if the former suggestion works):

$ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite
/var/cache/apt/archives/mono-assemblies-base_1.0.5-3_all.deb

That's it. Just trying to help

Cheers

Lucas

[1] - I'm not sure if those are the most elegant solutions. Maybe they
are atrocious, so, if someone more knowledgeable thinks my solution
sucks, please say it aloud ;)
