[Bug 1715118] [NEW] cannot install libperl-dev:i386 on x64 system with already installed native perl and libperl-dev

[D]

Public bug reported:

There seems two problems
1) libperl-dev:i386 just conflicts with native libperl-dev. So apt-get install libperl-dev:i386 automatically removes libperl-dev
2) Even after this it still won't install due to conflict of dependent libperl5.22 packages (that required for Perl itself):
Unpacking libperl5.22:i386 (5.22.1-9) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libperl5.22_5.22.1-9_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libperl5.22/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libperl5.22:i386

The problem reason:  I want to crosscompile some C code linked to
libperl but cannot do this due to error above. Temporary removing native
libperl-dev would be acceptable workaround, but removing whole Perl is
not acceptable.
