[Bug 1512992] Re: package zlib1g-dev 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/zconf.h', which is also in package lib32z1-dev 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4

[nimbosa]

i have a duplicate bug, but runs in reverse:

package lib32z1-dev (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/zconf.h', which is also in package zlib1g-dev:i386 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4
___
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/lib32z1-dev_1%3a1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
___

and this is a FRESH install!

should i force this as:
$ sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install lib32z1-dev
???

Thanks!
