Can't remove the libpcap0.8 package
- by Yogesh
I am getting error when running apt-get remove
root@System:~/Downloads# sudo apt-get remove
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpcap0.8 : Breaks: libpcap0.8:i386 (!= 1.4.0-2) but 1.5.3-2 is installed
libpcap0.8:i386 : Breaks: libpcap0.8 (!= 1.5.3-2) but 1.4.0-2 is installed
libpcap0.8-dev : Depends: libpcap0.8 (= 1.5.3-2) but 1.4.0-2 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
and when I ran apt-get remove -f this is what happens:
root@System:~/Downloads# sudo apt-get remove -f

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

Package 'libpcap0.8-dev:i386' is not installed, so not removed. Did you mean 'libpcap0.8-dev'?
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpcap-dev : Depends: libpcap0.8-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
