gdb-arm-none-eabi's manpage clashes with gdb's manpage

[Brendan]

When installing gdb-arm-none-eabi with gdb already installed, there is an error when trying install the manpage:

To clarify: When I say "gdb" in the report I mean GDB for a native target - that is for AMD64 target. gdb-arm-none-eabi is a cross-debugger: GDB for ARM targets (but still for AMD64 *hosts*!).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

For those who land here like me:

Some more googling gave me this workaround.
```sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install gdb-arm-none-eabi```
