Bug#782505: libxrender1: dist-upgrade breaks on multiarch due to conflict on changelog.Debian.gz
Package: libxrender1
Version: 1:0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I attempted to upgrade a (wheezy) system on which both the i386 and amd64
versions of libxrender1 were installed. It failed, apparently the same shared
file (the changelog) has different contents in *the same version of* the
package on the 2 archs.
Please fix this, as dist-upgrade should not fail on a stable install. Really it should have been picked up automatically...
