Trying to upgrade to current Jessie, eg. from 2.17-97 to 2.18-5, got libc6-amd64:i386 into a state where it seems impossible to continue. Removing libc6-amd64:i386 fails because the package is "in a bad state", reinstalling doesn't work, either, nor das apt-get -f install: At first failure, I tried with the steps outlined in #736097, and (like Francesco) hosed my system - luckily I had sash installed and could revocer via that. Now it seems I'm stuck in a loop: # apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies...
