I'm trying to install the Deepin desktop on my Xubuntu installation using the ppa:ubuntudde-dev/stable repo. Most of the process went find except for one package: ubuntudde-default-setting s_1.1.7-1_all.deb, which returns the following error:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/ubuntudde-default-settings_1.1.7-1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/etc/skel/.config/Trolltech.conf', which is also in package xubuntu-default-settings 20.04.4
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/ubuntudde-default-settings_1.1.7-1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I've tried all the essential apt commands such as apt --fix-broken install and apt -f install but to no avail.

You have to request manual overwritting by using command below:

sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/ubuntudde-default-settings_1.1.7-1_all.deb

and then resume installation

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a
