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 > > I'm including this information for other users looking at this bug report > and wishing to have a quick solution. Do this only after the failed upgrade > (which downloads the files to /var/cache/apt/archives and verifies the > signature on the download) and checking that the '*' in the globbing pattern > indeed only matches the two wanted files (I had already determined that, I > didn't actually do the 'ls' command).
