[Bug 2039234] Re: libc6-dev:amd64 overwrites files from libc6:i386 and aborts update when upgrading to mantic

[Simon Chopin]

Alright, after a chat with Steve, it makes more sense to handle this via
an upgrader quirk than an SRU of glibc in Mantic, although it *is*
handled in the package that's been uploaded to Noble.

Bug description:
  This is a bug affecting mantic, apport selected lunar instead of
  mantic because the bug happens in the middle of the upgrade from lunar
  to mantic.

  I tried to update from lunar to mantic, dpkg aborted with this error:

  ```
  Dépaquetage de libc6-dev-i386 (2.38-1ubuntu6) sur (2.37-0ubuntu2.1) ...
  dpkg: erreur de traitement de l'archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev-i386_2.38-1ubuntu6_amd64.deb (--unpack) :
   tentative de remplacement de « /usr/include/finclude/math-vector-fortran.h », qui appartient aussi au paquet libc6-dev:amd64 2.37-0ubuntu2.1
  ```

  The message is in French, but the meaning is that dpkg aborts because
  installing libc6-dev:i386 tries to overwrite files from
  libc6-dev:amd64.
