That is odd. And I can see no recent reason for it in the latest diff: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/356975252/pulseaudio_1%3A10.0-2ubuntu3_1%3A10.0-2ubuntu3.1.diff.gz So the most likely explanation is that it's a pre-existing bug. A theory seemingly confirmed by bug 1640139. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1640139 package libpulse0 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/etc/pulse/client.conf', which is different from other instances of package libpulse0:i386 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1751367 Title: package libpulse0 1:10.0-2ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/etc/pulse/client.conf', which is different from other instances of package libpulse0:i386 Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu: New Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: SRU fails to unpack due to reported changes to a conffile of a library installed in a multiarch configuration.
