[Bug 1068747] Re: package libdrm2 2.4.39-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: './usr/share/doc/libdrm2/changelog.Debian.gz' is different from the same file on the system

[Joe Littlejohn]

After receiving this error, I found apt was broken with error messages
like:

    E: Internal Error, No file name for libtinfo5

The workaround seems to be to manually install whatever package is
mentioned in the error (in this case, libtinfo5) like:

  wget
"http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/n/ncurses/libtinfo5_5.9-10ubuntu1_amd64.deb"

  sudo dpkg -i libtinfo5_5.9-10ubuntu1_amd64.deb

Then delete the file that causes the original librdrm2 error:

  sudo rm /usr/share/doc/libdrm2/changelog.Debian.gz

And finally continue the upgrade process:

  sudo apt-get -f upgrade
