[Tinyos-help] Cannot install both tinyos-avr and tinyos-msp430 from Ubuntu repository

[Tony Mancill]

In this specific case, because it's just a readme, it won't hurt to
force the override with:

sudo dpkg --install --force-overwrite \
	/var/cache/apt/archives/tinyos-msp430_2.0-1_i386.deb

The other questions will need to be answered by the packager(s).

HTH,
