Description
Okay Ive had this problem a few times now and I'm starting to get sick of it. Packages should not fail to upgrade or be installed just because it can't overwrite some stupid icon belonging to another package. This has to be the stupidest concept I've ever seen. I know it's easily fixed by popping into a terminal and throwing a force install but it shouldnt be needed.

This is probably more of a bug?

You accidentally posted this in ubuntu brainstorm instead of ubuntu rant.

That's a bug that you are describing.
You should make a bug report on Launchpad (link above on the status message).
Thanks!
