To correct dpkg-deb processing errors:

Unpacking libnfc5:i386 (from .../libnfc5_1.7.0-3kali1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libnfc5_1.7.0-3kali1_i386.deb (--unpack):

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libnfc5_1.7.0-3kali1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

cd /var/cache/apt/archives

dpkg -i --force-overwrite all_package_names_listed_at_the_bottom_of_error_ou tput

E.g:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite libnfc5_1.7.0-3kali1_i386.deb

To get the packages left unconfigured:

dpkg --configure -a

You may have to repeat the process a couple of times.

It forces the overwriting of a file that exists in another package(s) due to a packaging error.

A file should only exist in one package at a time and every now and again someone makes a mistake and includes it two or more packages, therefore you need to use the --force-overwrite to get by it and install the new package(s).

finally solved after dist-upgrade

Thanks navyairtech, that helped me out with libnfc5 as well. Guess I have to read more about dpkg. Do you have any recommended reading on dpkg/apt?
