Bug#787713: libavcodec-extra-56 not coinstallable with libavcodec-extra-56:i386

[Andreas Cord-Landwehr]

Package: libavcodec-extra-56
Version: 6:11.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

on my today's dist-upgrade, I got:

<snip>
Preparing to unpack .../libavcodec-extra-56_6%3a11.4-1_i386.deb ...
Unpacking libavcodec-extra-56:i386 (6:11.4-1) over (6:11.3-3+b2) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libavcodec-extra-56_6%3a11.4-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libavcodec-extra-56', which is different from other instances of package libavcodec-extra-56:i386
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libavcodec-extra-56_6%3a11.4-1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Failed to perform requested operation on package.  Trying to recover:
<snap>

I.e. not both the amd64 and the i386 version of this package are installable at the same time. Yet this is needed to use 3rd-party applications like Skype.
