[Bug 1074643] Re: package libqtcore4 4:4.8.3+dfsg-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite shared '/etc/xdg/Trolltech.conf', which is different from other instances of package libqtcore4:i386

[Paul Hoell]

** Description changed:

  As the title says, when i try to --reinstall libqtcore4 on my Ubuntu
  12.10 64bit, i get this error. It seems, that this is only the case if
  both libqtcore4 and libqtcore4:i386 are installed side-by-side.
  
  It's fixed easily enough with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-
  upgrade on my system, but i had to debug at least one other case where
  this error made it nearly impossible to install Skype from the partner
  repo.
