[Bug 1071959] Re: package fakeroot 1.18.2-1 failed to install/upgrade: package fakeroot is already installed and configured

[dino99]

Please see bug report lp:1446880 for explanations and details about
Apport wrongly reporting against 'dpkg' instead of the faulty 'software-
center' package.

All these similar bugs will be set as 'duplicate' as apport is also
disturbed by the package name instead of picking up the real error
