Bug#636116: Overwriting identical include header files fails from libc6-dev and libc6-dev-amd64

[Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@googlemail.com>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.13-13
Severity: normal

Hi,

I upgraded to eglibc (2.13-13) and see the following error-messages:

dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev-amd64_2.13-13_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/include/bits', which is also in package
libc6-dev 2.13-13

When asking on #multiarch and looking into the libc6 changelog, the
problem might occur from:

eglibc (2.13-12) unstable; urgency=low
...
  * Fix installation of biarch headers (Closes: #635685):
    - Use a symlink for bits/ and gnu/ directories
...

I have de-installed all multilib stuff for now.

Regards,
- Sedat -
