Problems during install or update on Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 or newer

If you got the following message during fresh install or update:
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/cairo-dock/default-indicator.png', which is also in package cairo-dock-data
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)


It's caused by packages included on Ubuntu repositories... Here is the workaround :
sudo apt-get remove cairo-dock* --purge
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
