[Bug 1781144] [NEW] package libc6-dev-i386 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/include/fpu_control.h', which is also in package libc6-dev-amd64:i386 2.23-0ubuntu9

[UbuntuUser009]

Public bug reported:

I ran sudo apt-get --fix-broken install
and got this:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev-i386_2.23-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release:	16.04

N: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libc6-dev-i386_2.23-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb'

I expected it to fix my video card driver issue with my new Supermicro
X9DAi-O motherboard and other issue with it.

What happened is I got the above errors.
