Comment 25 for bug 1512992

Just installed Xenial with all updates and can't install zlib1g-dev. It does not exist in proposed (tried from there) so I assume it's in the usual update repos. It looks like it is still broken. Is there a work around?

sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install zlib1g-dev:amd64
