Package: libxrender1 Version: 1:0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
While trying to install version 1:0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1 from wheezy-security for both amd64 and i386 on a multiarch machine, I got the following problem: --------------------- 8< ------------ >8 --------------------- root@timmy:/var/log/apt# grep libxrender1 term.log Preparing to replace libxrender1:i386 1:0.9.7-1+deb7u1 (using .../libxrender1_1%3a0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1_i386.deb) ...

Since this little bug prevents installation on multiarch machines, I've set the severity to important. For now, I've resolved the situation on my machine as follows: # cd /var/cache/apt/archives # ls libxrender1_1%3a0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1_*.deb libxrender1_1%3a0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1_amd64.deb libxrender1_1%3a0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1_i386.deb # dpkg --force-overwrite -i libxrender1_1%3a0.9.7-1+deb7u1+b1_*.deb I'm including this information for other users looking at this bug report and wishing to have a quick solution. Do this only after the failed upgrade (which downloads the files to /var/cache/apt/archives and verifies the signature on the download) and checking that the '*' in the globbing pattern indeed only matches the two wanted files (I had already determined that, I didn't actually do the 'ls' command). Thanks for your work, Peter. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.8 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
