The quick answer is that Jason has just uploaded 2.14.3, so there is now
a newer package to try. Maybe it will work.

The more correct answer is "I don't know" since I've never used gdebi,
but as far as I'm aware there shouldn't be a conflict with
librsvg2-common. Gdebi does seem to be getting confused about the
version numbers though 1.2.14.2 should probably be 2.14.2.1.
