Thank you for taking the time to report this.

Per the error message above, the package you are trying to install is trying to overwrite a file that already exists on the system. You have a mix of both liblua5.1 and liblua5.2 on your system.

Becuase this is a local issue and not a bug in Ubuntu I am marking this bug as Incomplete. If you believe this to not be the case then we would appreciate if you could provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem on the community forums: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community
