Public bug reported:

libvte-2.91-0 0.60.0-2ubuntu1 from focal-proposed tries to install
/usr/lib/systemd/user/vte-spawn-.scope.d/defaults.conf which is already
provided by libvte-2.91-common 0.60.0-2ubuntu1 and fails.

Steps to reproduce:

1. sudo apt install libvte-2.91-common
2. sudo apt install libvte-2.91-0

Expected results:

libvte-2.91 installs.

Actual results:
