I noticed when I did an apt-get update then and apt-get upgrade it would hang and stop working

After some searches on the web I found this
Code Sample
dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libopenldap-runtime_1%3a1.2.12-1_all.deb


I took it a step farther and did this
Code Sample
cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
dpkg --force-overwrite -i *

It extracted all the updated packages and updated my system...I had to manually tell it to use update even though it had a script update it as well...it seems to have worked and I havent broken anything as I can tell yet

Perhaps this will help those that cant get thier stuff working right...any ideas??
