Andrew, you did it wrong. apt download libffi8 libffi8:i386 for d in libffi8*.deb; do dpkg-deb -x $d $d.dir; dpkg-deb -e $d $d.dir/DEBIAN; sed -i 's/Breaks: libffi8ubuntu1/Breaks: libffi8ubuntu1 (<= 3.4~20200819gead65ca871-0ubuntu5)/' $d/DEBIAN/control; dpkg-deb -b $d.dir $d; done sudo dpkg -i libffi8*.deb
And after the installation, do not update libffi8 again until a new version out. sudo apt-mark hold libffi8 libffi8:i386 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libffi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1943312 Title: dependency problems of version 3.4.2-1ubuntu3 Status in libffi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Have both libffi8ubuntu1:amd64 and libffi8ubuntu1:i386 installed previously.
