[fantab (fantab)]

Same. I tried re-installing it but to no avail.

[Vassili Platonov (vassilip)]

Same.
There is a '.mo' file instead of 'gst-plugins-ugly-1.0.mo' in /usr/share/locale/<all locales>/LC_MESSAGES/.

[mdalacu (mdalacu)]

I also have this problem. Any workaround?

[Barry Drake (b-drake)]

Using Ubuntu Trusty i386.

I get the following error:
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly_1.2.2-1ubuntu2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/locale/id/LC_MESSAGES/.mo', which is also in package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly:i386 0.10.19-2ubuntu2

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

This is clearly a misbuild of *both* packages: /usr/share/locale/sl/LC_MESSAGES/.mo should not exist in either package. Logan, this looks like a bug that was introduced by your changes to use dh-autoreconf. Please fix this.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

my guess is that whilst previously neither gettext nor autopoint were enabled for the package. But now gettext was, possibly generating this unpleasant .mo side effect.

[IlarioGelmetti (ilariogelmetti)]

I got this problem installing Ubuntu 14.04 alpha daily 20140105.

[Christopher Kyle Horton (christhehorton)]

I just got this problem running the usual updates on my Trusty laptop through the Software Updater.

[Logan Rosen (logan)]

Looking into this.

I've got this problem as well today. Of course the affected package is older version(1.2.2-1ubuntu2) than "fix released" version(1.2.2-1ubuntu3), but as a workaround you can use the "dpkg --force-overwrite --install" command.
