I'm trying to reinstall libc6-dev since I accidentally removed /usr/include/stdio.h, and I'm getting the following message:

    Looks like your two packages both provide /dev/include/stdlib.h. Do you really mean to be installing libc6-dev for both amd64 and i386 architectures? This is not a typical thing to do.

If you are sure that this is really want to do (see comment above), you can do



sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install libc6-dev-amd64 libc6-dev-i386



This passes the --force-overwrite flag to dpkg which allows one package to overwrite another one's file. Of course, if you have the deb files, you can using the underlying dpkg command directly as:



sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite libc6-dev-amd64 libc6-dev-dev-i386
