[Bug 1068165] Re: package libdrm2 2.4.39-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libdrm2/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libdrm2:amd64

[pberndt]

In the amd64 version of the package, the changelog is a plain file,
while in the i386 version, it is actually a symlink to
../libdrm2/changelog.Debian.gz (which is NOT contained in the package).
I presume the latter is an error.

This is why the packages won't install. Now removing the file prior to
installing either package will fix the installation problem for now, but
the error will likely occur again when one of the two versions is
updated. Only will it not be the installation of Steam or Wine, but the
system's update that fails then. Much worse IMHO..
