    cd /var/cache/apt/archives

    dpkg -i --force-overwrite all_package_names_listed_at_the_bottom_of_error_ou tput

    E.g:
    dpkg -i --force-overwrite libnfc5_1.7.0-3kali1_i386.deb

    To get the packages left unconfigured:

    dpkg --configure -a

    You may have to repeat the process a couple of times.

    It forces the overwriting of a file that exists in another package(s) due to a packaging error.

    A file should only exist in one package at a time and every now and again someone makes a mistake and includes it two or more packages, therefore you need to use the --force-overwrite to get by it and install the new package(s).

    Thanks navyairtech, that helped me out with libnfc5 as well. Guess I have to read more about dpkg. Do you have any recommended reading on dpkg/apt?
