Bug Description
Updating from oneiric to precise I got the following error:
Unpacking mysql-server-5.5 (from .../mysql-
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/
Looks like mysql-server-5.5 should get a 'conflict' declaration on older libmysqlclient-dev packages.
Cheers

New package libmysqlclient- dev_5.5. 17-4ubuntu6 from precise does not have the file conflict (as expected:-)
To anyone who runs into this problem: try the following:
sudo dpkg -r libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
