Bug#380350: dpkg error trying to overwrite libgtop-2.0.mo

[John Feuerstein]

Package: libgtop2-common
Version: 2.14.1-2

When I try to install libgtop2-7_2.14.1-2_i386.deb it depends on
libgtop2-common_2.14.1-2_all.deb. However the package libgtop2-common
tries to overwrite the file
/usr/share/locale/am/LC_MESSAGES/libgtop-2.0.mo, 
which is also in package libgtop2.

Here is a complete demonstration of this problem:

libgtop2-7 is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgtop2-7: Depends: libgtop2-common (>= 2.14.1-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
