[Bug 1313833] [NEW] package gdb (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/gdb.1.gz', which is also in package gdb-arm-none-eabi 7.6.50.20131218-0ubuntu1+1

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 14.04 refuses to install gdb if gdb-arm-none-eabi is already

none-eabi if gdb already installed).
