[Bug 1519787] Re: package icedtea-netx 1.5-1ubuntu1 [modified: usr/bin/policyeditor usr/share/doc/icedtea-netx/AUTHORS usr/share/doc/icedtea-netx/NEWS.gz usr/share/doc/icedtea-netx/changelog.Debian.gz] failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/bin/policyeditor', which is different from other instances of package icedtea-netx:amd64

[Jan Lillelund]

Running "apt-get -f install" yields:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/icedtea-netx_1.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite shared '/usr/bin/policyeditor', which is different from other instances of package icedtea-netx:amd64
Processing triggers for man-db (2.6.7.1-1ubuntu1) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/icedtea-netx_1.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This seems to effectively break apt-get, preventing any other upgrades
from being performed (or doing things such as autoremove)
