Here's a workaround, but I'm pretty sure this breaks the manpages in one
way or another:

$ sudo mv /usr/share/man/man1/freetype-config.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1
/freetype-config.1.amd64.gz

Title:
  trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/man/man1/freetype-config.1.gz',
  which is different from other instances of package
  libfreetype6-dev:i386

Status in freetype package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing libfreetype6-dev:i386 on a 64-bit machine:

  Unpacking libfreetype6-dev:i386 (2.5.2-2ubuntu1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libfreetype6-dev_2.5.2-2ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/man/man1/freetype-config.1.gz', which is different from other instances of package libfreetype6-dev:i386
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

  Moving the /usr/share/man/man1/freetype-config.1.gz out of the way
  allows the package to install sucessfully. This is only a manual page
  conflict, as it seems.
