Electricsheep 2.6.2-1 upgrade fails

When trying to upgrade from the default 2.5-2 version of electricsheep to 2.6.2-1, it fails with the following error message:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/electricsheep_2.6.2-1~5.04ubp1_i386.deb:
  trying to overwrite `/usr/share/xscreensaver/config/electricsheep.xml',
  which is also in package xscreensaver

Obviously a conflict with xscreensaver. But how do I sort it out? That damned red upgrade circle in the system tray is annoying me.

[PHP]dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/electricsheep_2.6.2-1~hoary1_i386.deb[/PHP]

or maybe

[PHP]apt-get install --force-yes[/PHP]

will do fine
