Looks like the file has been moved between binary packages without the suitable dependency incantations to ensure the packages upgrade without clashing.

Actually, no, the file really is erroneously present in both the linphone and linphone-common binary packages (though appropriate Conflicts+Replaces would still be needed to prevent an error once that more serious bug was fixed)

I get the same with upgrading in Karmic. I am also on AMD64.

Fixed by sync of 3.1.2-2

Yes I have it fixed, thanks
