Try the following:
Forcing Overwrite:
In /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ there is a file: 70debconf
Add this to the file:
DPkg
{
// Probably don't want to use force-downgrade..
Options {"--force-overwrite";}
}
Then, whenever the situation arises, dpkg will automatically overwrite
the common file.
It's worked for me several times :-)
Blessings,
Nigel
