Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.8 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, during an update I run into th following situation: ---8<--- libqtcore4 : Breaks: libqtcore4:i386 (!= 4:4.8.2-2) but 4:4.8.2-2+b1 is installed libqtcore4:i386 : Breaks: libqtcore4 (!= 4:4.8.2-2+b1) but 4:4.8.2-2 is installed ---8<---
Trying to install libqtcore4 by hand results in: ---8<--- # LANG=C dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.2-2+b1_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 328035 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace libqtcore4:amd64 4:4.8.2-2 (using .../libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.2-2+b1_amd64.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libqtcore4:amd64 ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.2-2+b1_amd64.deb (--install): trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libqtcore4/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libqtcore4:amd64 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.2-2+b1_amd64.deb # ---8<--- It seems to me, that dpkg is unable to handle the "+bX" version in a correct manner. For my understanding the version "a.b.c+bX" should be handled as eaqual to version "a.b.c" in this case.
