Package: libc6 Version: 2.24-7 Severity: normal Tried to install libc6:i386 but cannot.
$ sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: cli-common : Depends: perl but it is not going to be installed libc6 : Breaks: libc6:i386 (!= 2.24-7) but 2.24-5 is to be installed libc6:i386 : Breaks: libc6 (!= 2.24-5) but 2.24-7 is to be installed [...] I don't know how to make sense of these "breaks" versions. libc6 doesn't even have a revision -7. Should both of those be "breaks ... != 2.24-6"? -Steve -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libgcc1 1:6.2.1-5 libc6 recommends no packages.
