Title:
  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
  originally no window management system would load until I went into
  recovery mode and fixed packages

Status in “libdrm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and neither gnome or unity would load
  leaving me with my desktop.   I went into "ubuntu advanced options"
  and clicked something like repair packages.  Gnome will now load so
  the computer is usable, but the error about libdrm is still popping
  up.
