Bug Description

Binary package hint: gtk2-engines

Upon performing and aptitude dist-upgrade I am unable to get gtk2-engines to install for edgy eft.

The issue even when attempted to be fixed by aptitude -f install fails to go away, and the error is shown below:

Need to get 0B/343kB of archives.
After unpacking 926kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y
(Reading database ... 76112 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking gtk2-engines (from .../gtk2-engines_1%3a2.8.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gtk2-engines_1%3a2.8.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc', which is also in package gtk2-engines-clearlooks
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/gtk2-engines_1%3a2.8.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

From here it seems simply that the two packages are conflicting over the one file.
