[Bug 2042665] Re: package libc6-dev 2.38-1ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/audit/sotruss-lib.so', which is also in package libc6:amd64 2.37-0ubuntu2.1

[Simon Chopin]

Are you *installing* Ubuntu or upgrading? If so, how did you upgrade?
This looks like you tried to upgrade by manually editing your
sources.list to point to Mantic, which isn't a supported method.

If so, you should be able to recover from the error by adding -o
Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" to the  apt command you used to
upgrade.
