I also have this issue after upgrading from i386 to amd64 12.04. $sudo apt-get upgrade 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: libsensors4-dev:i386 : Depends: libsensors4:i386 (= 1:3.3.1-2ubuntu1) but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
add the -f option and it tries to install: [...]Unpacking libsensors4:i386 (from .../libsensors4_1%3a3.3.1-2ubuntu1_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libsensors4_1%3a3.3.1-2ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): conffile './etc/sensors.d/.placeholder' is not in sync with other instances of the same package Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libsensors4_1%3a3.3.1-2ubuntu1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lm-sensors in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951493 Title: package libsensors4 1:3.3.1-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: conffile './etc/sensors.d/.placeholder' is not in sync with other instances of the same package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lm-sensors/+bug/951493/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
