[Bug 1659554] Re: package libgssapi-krb5-2 1.14.3+dfsg-2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/etc/gss/mech.d/README', which is different from other instances of package libgssapi-krb5-2:amd64

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public
