Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I have been unable to reproduce the issue as I was able to install openjdk-7-jre for both amd64 and i386 concurrently without any errors. Please try to upgrade openjdk-7-jre. If that does not fix the issue, please uninstall openjdk-7 (i386 and amd64) from your system and then try installing them again. ** Changed in: openjdk-7 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1509708 Title: package openjdk-7-jre 7u79-2.5.6-0ubuntu1.14.04.1 [modified: usr/share/applications/openjdk-7-policytool.desktop] failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/applications/openjdk-7-policytool.desktop', which is different from other instances of package openjdk-7-jre:i386 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-7/+bug/1509708/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
