Workaround is to force overwrite, fix, and then resume the dist-upgrade:dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/gcc-5-base_5.3.0-3_i386.deb dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/gcc-5-base_5.3.0-3_amd64.deb
apt-get install -f apt-get dist-upgrade Kind regards, -- Ben Caradoc-Davies <ben@transient.nz> Director Transient Software Limited <http://transient.nz/> New Zealand
