[Bug 2039234] Re: libc6-dev:amd64 overwrites files from libc6:i386 and aborts update when upgrading to mantic

[Thomas Debesse]

** Description changed:

  This is a bug affecting mantic, apport selected lunar instead of mantic
  because the bug happens in the middle of the upgrade from lunar to
  mantic.
  
  I tried to update from lunar to mantic, dpkg aborted with this error:
  
  ```
  Dépaquetage de libc6-dev-i386 (2.38-1ubuntu6) sur (2.37-0ubuntu2.1) ...
  dpkg: erreur de traitement de l'archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev-i386_2.38-1ubuntu6_amd64.deb (--unpack) :
   tentative de remplacement de « /usr/include/finclude/math-vector-fortran.h », qui appartient aussi au paquet libc6-dev:amd64 2.37-0ubuntu2.1
  ```
  
  The message is in French, but the meaning is that dpkg aborts because
- installing libc6-dev:o386 tries to overwrite files from libc6-dev:amd64.
+ installing libc6-dev:i386 tries to overwrite files from libc6-dev:amd64.
