Resolving Package Conflict with Level-Zero Installation; Fixing dpkg Error

dpkg: error processing archive level-zero_1.20.2+u24.04_amd64.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libze_loader.so.1', which is also in package libze1:amd64 1.17.42-1
Errors were encountered while processing:
level-zero_1.20.2+u24.04_amd64.deb

When installing .deb packages, conflicts can arise if multiple packages attempt to claim the same file. In this case, the installation of level-zero_1.20.2+u24.04_amd64.deb is blocked due to a conflict with the libze1:amd64 package.

If you're encountering an error while installing level-zero_1.20.2+u24.04_amd64.deb due to a package conflict, you can resolve it by forcing the overwrite. The issue arises when dpkg tries to overwrite a file already included in another package (libze1:amd64). 

To fix this, 
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite level-zero_1.20.2+u24.04_amd64.deb 

This command will force dpkg to overwrite the conflicting file, allowing the installation to proceed.

# Check if Level Zero is installed
dpkg -l level-zero

When using --force-overwrite, be aware that it can potentially cause issues if the overwritten file is required by another package. However, in this case, it's likely that the level-zero package is intended to replace the older version of the file provided by libze1:amd64.
