Hi doko,

Doing OS upgrade on my Debian Sid amd64 fails with the following error:

Preparing to unpack .../binutils-multiarch_2.38.50.20220615-1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking binutils-multiarch (2.38.50.20220615-1) over (2.38-4) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/binutils-
multiarch_2.38.50.20220615-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/gp-archive', which is also in package
binutils 2.38.50.20220615-1
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/binutils-multiarch_2.38.50.20220615-1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Besides, binutils-multiarch_2.38.50.20220615-1 also tries to overwrite
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gprofng/libgp-collector.so , which is provided by
libgprofng0:amd64 2.38.50.20220615-1.

The former issue cannot be fixed by "apt install -f". The latter one can be
fixed using "apt install -f".

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
