[Bug 1690178] Re: package lib32z1-dev 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/zconf.h', which is also in package zlib1g-dev:i386 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu5

Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and you should expect some breakage.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Release_has_reached_End_of_Life_.28EOL.29

Reporter, is this still present on 17.10 or 16.04?

** Changed in: zlib (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Incomplete

Title:
  package lib32z1-dev 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade:
  trying to overwrite '/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/zconf.h', which is
  also in package zlib1g-dev:i386 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu5

Status in zlib package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  While this error looks very similar to the one in bug #1512992, it
  happened as a result of the updates that were released today, i.e., it
  seems like the result of the *fix* for that bug.
