Bug#782505: libxrender1: dist-upgrade breaks on multiarch due to conflict on
Package: libxrender1
Version: 1:0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1
Followup-For: Bug #782505
I reported the bug in parallel with this bug report, and the reports got
merged. In my bug report, I indicated a temporary measure to actually
install the new version with its security fix, but now that the bugs are
merged you don't see that anymore.
So here's my suggestion to get your system back in a good state, with
the update installed:
> For now, I've resolved the situation on my machine as follows:
>
> # cd /var/cache/apt/archives
> # ls libxrender1_1%3a0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1_*.deb
> libxrender1_1%3a0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1_amd64.deb
> libxrender1_1%3a0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1_i386.deb
> # dpkg --force-overwrite -i libxrender1_1%3a0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1_*.deb

HTH,
