Ubuntu 10.10 was just released, it seems they have a package that conflicts with dmd 2.049 which is installed by default. This package has the file /usr/bin/shell which dmd also has.

Log:
sudo dpkg -i dmd_2.049-0_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 121289 files and directories currently installed.)

I think the real question is, does shell *need* to be included in the dmd package? My initial thoughts say no. But nonetheless you tend to run into these sorts of conflicts when you install 3rd party software.

To give you the quick command, you can divert byobu's file using:

sudo dpkg-divert --local --package byobu --rename --add /usr/bin/shell

That will divert '/usr/bin/shell' to '/usr/bin/shell.distrib' for the byobu package.

You should be able to install DMD now...

Regards

shell has been removed from the Linux version of dmd for some time now.
