Bug#768651: libaudio2: fails to update - trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libaudio2/changelog.Debian.gz'
I can confirm this. I just ran apt-get dist-upgrade in Debian Jessie. My output: Preparing to unpack .../libaudio2_1.9.4-1+b1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking libaudio2:amd64 (1.9.4-1+b1) over (1.9.4-1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libaudio2_1.9.4-1+b1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libaudio2/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libaudio2:amd64 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libaudio2_1.9.4-1+b1_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Adding the -f option didn't help.

Hi, Same problem upgrading my Jessie laptop this morning, you can workaround the problem by forcing the installation of libaudio2 (amd64): apt-get install -f -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-overwrite libaudio2 Then continue with normal upgrading process.

Hi, I have no idea why a package with such a serious issue has been allowed to migrate to Testing, but here's a fix anyway: get the previous version (both amd64 and i386) from snapshot.debian.org [1] and install it via dpkg. After that, you can hold it for a while using apt-mark (preventing it from the upgrade). [1] http://snapshot.debian.org/package/nas/1.9.4-1/#libaudio2_1.9.4-1

Package: libaudio2 Version: 1.9.4-1+b1 Severity: serious Hi, During a package upgrade I received this error: Preparing to unpack .../libaudio2_1.9.4-1+b1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking libaudio2:amd64 (1.9.4-1+b1) over (1.9.4-1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libaudio2_1.9.4-1+b1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libaudio2/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libaudio2:amd64 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libaudio2_1.9.4-1+b1_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Failed to perform requested operation on package. Trying to recover: dpkg: error processing package libaudio2:i386 (--configure): package libaudio2:i386 1.9.4-1+b1 cannot be configured because libaudio2:amd64 is at a different version (1.9.4-1) Errors were encountered while processing: libaudio2:i386 This was after libaudio2:i386 had been unpacked. It seems that this package isn't binNMU safe. Since the changelogs of binNMUed packages are different, they can't be installed in the same place in multiarch same packages. I think dh_installchangelogs would handle this case for you, but in this package the changelog is installed manually.
