Package: postgresql-common
Version: 165+deb8u2
Both postgresql-common and libpq-dev install the file /usr/bin/pg_config .
That's a bug, isn't it? dpkg --install seems to think so.
This was not a problem for me before an attempted update a few days ago; Now I
have broken dependencies that I cannot fix because I cannot install the
current libpq-dev because of the file conflict. I don't know what changed.

The packages should actually cope with that. I don't think we can
really figure out now what had happened when you got into that
situation, given everything works again, so I'll close the bug now.

The logic there hasn't changed for years, and your report was the
first time I've heard of problems with it, so it's quite unlikely
you'll hit it again. Hopefully :)
Thanks for reporting!
