dpkg

I'm trying to use this code from webupd8 to fix the problem I have. It seems it didn't work.

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/smplayer_0.6.9+svn3595-1ppa1~maverick1_i386.deb

Here is the output from my attempt to install dockbar :

$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all var/apt/cache/archives/dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr80-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_i386.deb
 dpkg: error processing var/apt/cache/archives/dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr80-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_i386.deb
 (--install):  cannot access archive:
 No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: 
 var/apt/cache/archives/dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr80-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_i386.deb

Is there any way around this?
