      <p>The packages in the standard repository and on the PPA

        are a bit different in the sense that the Python extension

        is included in the PPA package, but it's a separate

        package in the standard repository. This can give rise to

        errors about overwriting the Python module when switching

        between versions. Typically, the error message would be

        like the following:</p>

      <pre><tt>

    ErrorMessage: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/recoll.so', which is also in package recoll 1.18.1-1~ppa1~quantal1</tt></pre>

      <p>If this happens, you just need to delete

        the previous package(s) before installing the other one(s)

        instead of performing an upgrade.</p>
