Bug Description

Steps to reproduce

1) sudo apt install googletest

2) sudo apt install qtubuntu-sensors

Expected result:

Both packages should install cleanly, or qtubuntu-sensors should report that it conflicts.

Actual result:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/qtubuntu-sensors_0.6+17.04.20170113-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/include/gtest/gtest-death-test.h', which is also in package googletest:amd64 1.8.0-6
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

I can confirm I get the same error when attempting to install both packages at the same time on Ubuntu Zesty.
