This happens when there are some files which are provided by two packages.



What you can do is to remove the package you already have, in order to avoid the conflict.



In your case as a workaround you can try removing gdb (if you don't actually need it), then apt should allow you to install the gdb-arm-linux-gnueabi package that you were trying to install.



For the long term you should submit a bug to your distribution's bugtracker so the packagers come up with a proper fix.

    It looks like you have two options: 1) recompile either of the two packages and remove the file from the control file and 2) try to download the deb file from the archive and use the --force-overwrite flag when installing it from the command line with dpkg. The question is knowing which version of the conflicting file you actually need, but in your case it seems to be a SPARC-related file which I think you could just ignore. I would go for option 2 which is much easier and faster.
