2012-10-02 09:08:30 Daniel Hartwig description removing the file that the installer claimed had changed and then rerunning apt-get upgrade fixes the issue for me ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gcc-4.4-base 4.4.7-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-22.35-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Apr 19 12:19:46 2012 Dependencies: DuplicateSignature: Unpacking replacement gcc-4.4-base ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gcc-4.4-base_4.4.7-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb (--unpack): './usr/share/doc/gcc-4.4-base/README.Debian.gz' is different from the same file on the system ErrorMessage: './usr/share/doc/gcc-4.4-base/README.Debian.gz' is different from the same file on the system InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120301) SourcePackage: gcc-4.4 Title: package gcc-4.4-base 4.4.7-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: './usr/share/doc/gcc-4.4-base/README.Debian.gz' is different from the same file on the system UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) [Impact] The contents of README.Debian.gz are arch-specific (see debbugs #650102). Even though it is Multi-Arch: same, the package gcc-4.4-base can not be co-installed with itself. The fix is renaming README.Debian to README.Debian.$(DEB_TARGET_ARCH).
