Bug Description

I'm on utopic unicorn as update from trusty.

Trying to install icedtea-7-plugin I get:

Preparing to unpack .../openjdk-7-jre-headless_7u65-2.5.2-4_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64 (7u65-2.5.2-4) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-7-jre-headless_7u65-2.5.2-4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite shared '/etc/java-7-openjdk/management/jmxremote.password', which is different from other instances of package openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

apt-get -f install can't help and hits the same error.

however this file doesn't exist in the filesystem:
