package libtidy-0.99-0 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: a tentar sobre-escrever '/usr/lib/libtidy.so', que também está no pacote tidy 5.4.0

A few weeks ago I installed tidy 5.4 downloaded from http://binaries.html-tidy.org/ and installed via

sudo dpkg -i tidy-5.4.0-64bit.deb

It used to work but now when I type tidy I get:

Workaround:

Uninstall and reinstall tidy:

sudo apt autoremove tidy
sudo dpkg -i tidy-5.4.0-64bit.deb

And then exclude tidy from automatic upgrade:

sudo apt-mark hold tidy
