[Jeremy Bícha <2115325@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This initial fix, for Ubuntu 25.10, fixes the problem where dpkg errors
because the packages cannot be simultaneously installed by not letting
them be simultaneously installed.

As pointed out in the Debian bug, libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev is
also not co-installable across architectures. We plan to do a proper fix
later for both these packages, ideally for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, but I can't
guarantee it will be done by then.

** Changed in: gstreamer1.0 (Ubuntu)

  =========

  What Could Go Wrong
  ===================

  Original Bug Report
  ===================
  Attempting to install both amd64 and i386 versions of libgstreamer1.0-dev results in an error.

  Ubuntu release: Questing
  Package version: 1.26.2-1

  Error message:
  Preparing to unpack .../libgstreamer1.0-dev_1.26.2-1_i386.deb ...
  Unpacking libgstreamer1.0-dev:i386 (1.26.2-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libgstreamer1.0-dev_1.26.2-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/gir-1.0/Gst-1.0.gir', which is different from other instances of package libgstreamer1.0-dev:i386
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libgstreamer1.0-dev_1.26.2-1_i386.deb

  Installing libgstreamer1.0-dev:i386 succeeds if
  libgstreamer1.0-dev:amd64 is not installed and vice-versa.
