I've seem to have broken my package manager. This is what I get when I try to
install any package (in this case gcc, just to illustrate an example):
$ sudo apt-get install gcc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
gcc is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bluez-alsa : Breaks: bluez-alsa:i386 (!= 4.98-2ubuntu7.1) but 4.98-2ubuntu7
is to be installed
bluez-alsa:i386 : Depends: libasound2:i386 (>= 1.0.23) but it is not going
to be installed
Breaks: bluez-alsa (!= 4.98-2ubuntu7) but 4.98-2ubuntu7.1

going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
a solution).
When I run apt-get -f install I get the following:
$ sudo apt-get -f install

I answer Y, and get the following:
