Package: dpkg
Version: 1.19.0.5
When installing gcc-avr, I got the error message:
dpkg: error processing archive
/var/cache/apt/archives/gcc-avr_1%3a5.4.0+Atmel3.6.0-1build1_amd64.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libcc1.so.0.0.0', which is also in package
gcc-arm-embedded 7-2018q2-1~bionic1
So because I need the gcc-avr package now, and "not today" the
gcc-ARM compiler, I decided to make a backup of the offending file
and then force the install of gcc-avr.
Then I get:
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:
dpkg: warning: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libcc1.so', which is also in
package gcc-arm-embedded 7-2018q2-1~bionic1
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:
dpkg: warning: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libcc1.so.0', which is also in
package gcc-arm-embedded 7-2018q2-1~bionic1
so now it has overwritten two files that I did NOT make a backup of!
I can probably recover by telling dpkg to force-overwrite during
a reinstall of the ARM compiler, and it is of course a packaging
error of those compilers to use a shared place to store these
libraries, but dpkg should have allowed me to make a backup
of the files without me having to figure out how to reinstall
that ARM compiler while overwriting these shared files.

The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike
Phil, this plan just might work.
