Bug#1134784: libepr-api-dev fails to coinstall

Package: libepr-api-dev
Version: 2.3-2+b1
Severity: serious
Justification: violates Debian policy 5.6.34.3
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: fileconflict

libepr-api-dev is declared Multi-Arch: same, but fails to coinstall.

The file /usr/share/doc/libepr-api-dev/html/doxygen.css is shared by
libepr-api-dev version 2.3-2+b1 as present in unstable with varying
content.

Please ensure that shared files have bit-identical content across
architectures, move architecture-dependent files to
architecture-dependent paths or remove the Multi-Arch: same field.

Note that being M-A:same is not required for the majority of
development packages. Removing M-A:same is the simple solution here. A
viable alternative is separating the documentation into an Arch:all
libepr-api-doc package. The latter approach has the additional benefit
of only performing the documentation build on amd64 and also reduces
the amount of files installed by buildds.

Kind regards

Helmut Grohne
