[Bug 1574351] Re: package libperl5.22 5.22.1-9 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libperl5.22/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libperl5.22:i386

[jof]

I can confirm this is still an issue in the latest Xenial LTS
installations.

This seems to primarily be an issue with multiarch installations.
This prevents many i386 packages from being installed on modern amd64 LTS systems.

This is a high priority bug affecting many users and has been open for nearly 2 years.
Is there any way to get this some attention?
