Package: libx11-xcb1
Version: 2:1.6.4-3+deb9u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
My installation of `wine` failed because, the installation of `libx11-xcb1`
failed.
```
Unpacking libx11-xcb1:i386 (2:1.6.4-3+deb9u1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-
install-1cFjeB/052-libx11-xcb1_2%3a1.6.4-3+deb9u1_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libx11-xcb1/changelog.Debian.gz',
which is different from other instances of package libx11-xcb1:i386
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Selecting previously unselected package libxi6:i386.
```
* What was the outcome of this action?
My package database became unstable.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Install without error.
* Workaround?
rm /usr/share/doc/libx11-xcb1/changelog.Debian.gz
before installing helped.
I assume it was not properly removed from the previous install and this
prevented the new install (see error message above).

And I just installed libx11-xcb1:amd64 and libx11-xcb1:i386 successfully
in a stretch chroot. So there definitely was some snafu on your system,
rather than a bug in the packages.

I'm closing the bug hereby.
Good luck,
Sven
