Apt-Get Error

[slush1000]

Every time I try to install or upgrade a package I get this error:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openoffice.org-java-common: Depends: bsh (>= 2.0b4-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
RESULT=100

So I try 'apt-get -f install' and get the following errors

dpkg: error processing /var/cahe/apt/archives/bsh_2.0b4-2_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to ovewrite /usr/share/man/man1/bsh.1.gz , which is also in package as h-knoppix
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cahce/apt/archives/bsh_2.04-2_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I dont know where to go from here, any advise apreciated.

Thanks

I am no expert but you could try and clear out that folder

/var/cahce/apt/archives/bsh_2.04-2_all.deb

it seems I have had corrupt stuff in there before

My experience with messages like that is that you don't have a file available on your computer or in your repositories that openoffice needs.

There are two solutions.

Find the package "bsh" and install it from source

OR

Add more repositories to your os. If you want to go this routes you might want to mess with some of the repositories on my list which I posted below.

To edit your repositories list log into root in the terminal and edit this file: /etc/apt/sources.list with command such as this: kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list
and copy whatever repositories that look helpful from below.
