This error started a couple hours only after the user installed "oracle- java6-installer" with only an "apt -f install". I suspect the system was already broken at that point, possibly due to the java6 install or to user changes to make it work if it wasn't working immediately.
I was thinking of making this Incomplete at first but thinking more about this, I'm more inclined to mark it as Invalid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1644592 Title: package libssl-dev 1.0.2g-1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/include/openssl/opensslv.h', which is different from other instances of package libssl-dev:amd64 Status in openssl package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The following packages will be upgraded: libssl-dev 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 417 not upgraded. 3 not fully installed or removed.
