[Bug 1095887] Re: package libpam-modules 1.1.3-7ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/man/man8/pam_group.8.gz', which is different from other instances of package libpam-modules:i386

[Steve Langasek]

Matthias, as the uploader of this package, could you please have a look
at this?  The manpages are meant to be shipped pregenerated in the
source package, and not be rebuilt at package build time, precisely
because of this issue with mismatched content when regenerating.  Looks
like we might have some out-of-order timestamps going on here.
