Public bug reported: Binary package hint: metacity
Updating metacity from 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu1 to 1:2.28.0-2ubuntu1 crashes while trying overwrite file '/usr/share/applications/metacity.desktop' which is also in metacity-common (1:2.28.0-0ubuntu1). Installing metacity-common first fixes the problem. This suggests the problem arises because of too loose dependency for metacity.
