I have tried removing the packages individually but that doesn't work either:
$sudo apt-get remove ibus-gtk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gtk2-engines:i386 : Depends: libgtk2.0-0:i386 (>= 2.19.7-2) but it is not
going to be installed
gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 : Depends: libgtk2.0-0:i386 (>= 2.24.5-4) but it
is not going to be installed
ibus-gtk:i386 : Depends: libgtk2.0-0:i386 (>= 2.24.5-4) but it is not going
to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
a solution).
