    Manually removing the conflicted executables and then reinstalling the
    package (using the package manager gui) did the trick.

Pleased to learn that you got it working, but I'm puzzled: how did you
"reinstall" using the GUI, given that the "Mark for reinstallation" option is
disabled? I guess that you must have first performed a "remove", followed by a
fresh "install". I can't remember who it was, who said that "a GUI is a
contrivance for making the simple difficult, and the difficult well-nigh
impossible"; sometimes, the CLI really is more capable.

Ticket details:

Here the log copied straight from the 'Details' window of the installation
manager showing information of the only package to be upgraded. It appears that
an additional path seperator in the paths breaks things.

Thanks.
