[debian-mysql] mysql-server-core-5.6_5.6.30-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb trying to overwrite '/usr/share/mysql/french/errmsg.sys'

[Howard Johnson]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to install mysql-server-core-5.6 on debian 8 (jessie) and 
getting the following error/log and I'm not sure how to proceed.  Can 
you make any sense out of this?

    (synaptic:14904): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_child_watch_add_full:
    assertion 'pid > 0' failed
    (Reading database ... 201581 files and directories currently installed.)

    Preparing to unpack
    .../mysql-server-core-5.6_5.6.30-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb ...

    (--unpack):
      trying to overwrite '/usr/share/mysql/french/errmsg.sys', which is
    also in package mysql-common 5.6.33-1debian8
    dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

    Errors were encountered while processing:

    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    A package failed to install.  ...



Trying to get 5.6 as opposed to 5.5 because I need to match the version 
of my production server on my testbed.

Thanks!
