I do not recommend Overwrite as the work-around. Use dpkg-divert to create a diversion (read: move the files in the way, don't overwrite them!).
Here's how to move the files from arm-none-eabi-gdb to more appropriate locations: sudo dpkg-divert --package gdb --divert /usr/share/man/man1/arm-none-eabi-gdbserver.1.gz --rename /usr/share/man/man1/gdbserver.1.gz sudo dpkg-divert --package gdb --divert /usr/share/man/man1/arm-none-eabi-gdb.1.gz --rename /usr/share/man/man1/gdb.1.gz Here's how to revert if you don't like the diversion: sudo dpkg-divert --package gdb --remove /usr/share/man/man1/arm-none-eabi-gdb.1.gz sudo dpkg-divert --package gdb --remove /usr/share/man/man1/arm-none-eabi-gdbserver.1.gz Consider what other diversions are already in place with dpkg-divert --list. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267680 Title: package gdb-arm-none-eabi (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/gdb.1.gz', which is also in package gdb 7.6.50.20131218-0ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb-arm-none-eabi/+bug/1267680/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
