Package: libsasl2-2
Version: 2.1.25.dfsg1-4+b1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.6.1

I have Debian Unstable amd64 running on my system.
After adding multiarch support:
- `dpkg --add-architecture i386`
- `sudo aptitude update`
- `sudo aptitude`
- upgrading ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk
- performing installation
The package libsasl2-2:i386 was added as a dependency of ia32-libs
During installation it tried to overwrite a file, changelog.Debian.gz in
/usr/share/doc/libsasl2-2/ (which I believe belongs to its amd64 counterpart).
This is the output error:

-- BEGIN Output from aptitude --
