I have a system with both libpam-modules:amd64 and libpam-modules:i386 installed
on upgrade it failed with
dpkg: error processing archive
/var/cache/apt/archives/libpam-modules_1.1.8-3.1+deb8u2_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/man/man8/pam_unix.8.gz', which is
different from other instances of package libpam-modules:i386
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
I removed the conflicting man page and also pam_exec.8.gz then ran apt-get
install and it continued with the upgrade
