Package: gcc-4.4-base
Version: 4.4.6-11
Severity: normal
User: multiarch-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: multiarch

On an i386(+amd64) system with multi-arch-enabled dpkg:
| # apt-get install -qq gcc-4.4-base gcc-4.4-base:amd64
| Selecting previously unselected package gcc-4.4-base.
| (Reading database ... 18791 files and directories currently installed.)
| Unpacking gcc-4.4-base:amd64 (from .../gcc-4.4-base_4.4.6-11_amd64.deb) ...
| Unpacking gcc-4.4-base:i386 (from .../gcc-4.4-base_4.4.6-11_i386.deb) ...
| dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gcc-4.4-base_4.4.6-11_i386.deb (--unpack):
| './usr/share/doc/gcc-4.4-base/README.Debian.gz' is different from the same file on the system
| configured to not write apport reports
| Errors were encountered while processing:
| /var/cache/apt/archives/gcc-4.4-base_4.4.6-11_i386.deb
| E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

And indeed, the files are different, even after ungzipping; please see
