[Bug 280538] Re: package libvlc2 None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libvlc2.list] failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libvlc.so.2.0.2', which is also in package libvlc0

I have the same issue here, VLC was installed prior to 8.04 (probably on
Gutsy or Feisty). When I noticed vlc was not installed properly (that is
had generic icon in menu) so attempted to reinstall had the above issue.
Then uninstalled vlc and plugins (pulse and esd), then re-installed and
the bug listed came up after it appears to have installed the program
and appears to also work.

The following error message was output when synaptic attempted to
reinstall :-

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libvlccore0_0.9.4-1ubuntu3_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libvlccore.so.0.0.2', which is also in package libvlc0
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libvlc2_0.9.4-1ubuntu3_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libvlc.so.2.0.2', which is also in package libvlc0

libvlc0 is at version 0.9.5+x264snapshot20080928+faad2.6.1-1~ppa1
vlc & vlc-nox are at 0.9.4-1ubuntu3
