Unpacking glibc-doc (from .../glibc-doc_2.3.6-7_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/glibc-doc_2.3.6-7_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man3/sem_init.3.gz', which is
also in package manpages-dev
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
$ apt-file list manpages-dev | grep sem_init

I believe this violates something in section 7.5 of the debian policy
manual, about `overlapping' files should be handled either through
alternatives or the `Conflicts:' field.
