close 693395 thank you Daniel,
what you see is not a bug, but caused by your attempt to install a powerpc package (which provides 'clock' separate from utli-linux') onto a i386 Debian installation (which has 'clock' installed from it's version of util-linux).
In a word: you cannot do this. Extract the powerpc package into a separate directory tree using dpkg -x, please.

Package: powerpc-utils Version: 1.1.3-24 Severity: normal I'm doing something weird: i'm trying to use multiarch to install grub-ieee1275-bin:powerpc onto an i386 system, so that i can create a bootable USB stick that will work on another machine that does not yet have debian on it. on the i386 machine, I've done: dpkg --add-architecture powerpc apt-get update apt-get install grub-ieee1275-bin:powerpc/experimental This wants to pull in a bunch of powerpc libraries, which seems OK. i don't plan on using it, of course, since all i want is the grub modules from grub-ieee1275-bin:powerpc, but whatever. however this fails due to a conflict with util-linux: Selecting previously unselected package powerpc-utils.
