apt again, error with libgdbm3

I get this error when trying to apt upgrade:

Quote:
Preparing to unpack .../libgdbm3_1.8.3-12+b1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking libgdbm3:amd64 (1.8.3-12+b1) over (1.8.3-12) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libgdbm3_1.8.3-12+b1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libgdbm3/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libgdbm3:amd64
Processing triggers for install-info (5.2.0.dfsg.1-4) ...
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/gtkdialog.info.gz'
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libgdbm3_1.8.3-12+b1_amd64.deb
I can't upgrade any other package either, because of it.

please help,
thanks.

I've just tried it, it exits with error:

Quote:
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgdbm3 : Breaks: libgdbm3:i386 (!= 1.8.3-12) but 1.8.3-12+b1 is installed
libgdbm3:i386 : Breaks: libgdbm3 (!= 1.8.3-12+b1) but 1.8.3-12 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
and if I use the -f switch:

I would try to download both packages (libgdbm3 and libgdbm3:i386, version 1.8.3-12+b1) and install with dpkg.

I just noticed the typo, it should be libgdbm3.
anyway, after downloading, still error:

Debian bug 753011 as well as other bug tracker #'s. I too have this issue, unable to update or dist-upgrade but i can install packages. it has something to do with enabling multiarch support.

I'm patiently waiting for a solution or fix.

Ok i found a solution or the files were fixed to coexist.

delete this file
/usr/share/doc/libgdbm3/changelog.Debian.gz

now do

apt-get -f install

you can now do the updates
apt-get update && upgrade && dist-upgrade
