This bit me yet again, and this time, I had to add one more package to the list (lib64z1-dev, which is simply the x64 equivalent of lib32z1-dev, which we already knew to be problematic). The complete list of packages to force-remove to resolve this is now:
sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends "gcc-multilib" sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends "libc6-dev-x32" sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends "lib32z1-dev" sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends "lib64z1-dev" This package deadlock becomes a problem for anyone who attempts to compile software that includes gzip (e.g., nginx, opentracker). Given gzip's relative popularity, this should really be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365375 Title: package libc6-dev-i386 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/include/gnu', which is also in package libc6 -dev-amd64 2.19-0ubuntu6.3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/1365375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
