Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.13 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I was trying to cross-grade an amd64 system to x32. the libpcre3 package on debian-ports has a patch to work-around #760327. As a result, the debian-ports package has a different version, so I ran into: Preparing to unpack libpcre3_1%3a8.35-3+x32.1_x32.deb ... Unpacking libpcre3:x32 (1:8.35-3+x32.1) over (1:8.35-3+x32.1) ... dpkg: error processing package libpcre3:x32 (--install): package libpcre3:x32 1:8.35-3+x32.1 cannot be configured because libpcre3:amd64 is at a different version (1:8.35-3) It would be great if dpkg had a --force option to override this error.
