Conky segmentation fault

One day, after an apt upgrade, conky stopped working. When trying to launch it from the cli, it only said "Segmentation fault".
Conky was not the problem, as reverting to an older version did not resolve the problem. Actually, Conky relies on tint2. Looking closer at the apt log, the following appeared:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/tint2_0.11+svn20121014-3_i386.deb

A package could not be installed, thus bugging Conky as well. A solution is to force the install of the package via dpkg:

$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/tint2_0.11+svn20121014-3_i386.deb

Restart Conky and voilà.
