[Bug 1017289] Re: package manpages 3.35-0.1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/getent.1.gz', which is also in package libc-bin 2.15-0ubuntu15

To follow up my earlier comment: it looks  bug 29713 was the problem, in
matching dupes to this bug.  29713 is now marked fixed .  I tested it,
by uploading my earlier crashfile with apport-bug, and Launchpad showed
me this bug report.  Yay!
