[Bug 1751367] Re: package libpulse0 1:10.0-2ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/etc/pulse/client.conf', which is different from other instances of package libpulse0:i386

That is odd. And I can see no recent reason for it in the latest diff:

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/356975252/pulseaudio_1%3A10.0-2ubuntu3_1%3A10.0-2ubuntu3.1.diff.gz

So the most likely explanation is that it's a pre-existing bug. A theory
seemingly confirmed by bug 1640139.
