You can remove packages if you installed the package using apt-get, by typing apt-get remove "packagename"(remove quotes).

Additionally you can use whereis command(if memory serves me correctly on ubuntu) by using "whereis packagename" and it should point you to where the conflicting package is, sometimes it is installed within the /usr/bin or the /opt directory , so you can remove that directory manually.

Food for thought if your after a particular file you can use the find command to find the library as well "find packagenameoranyfile"
