Can anyone help me with this?



During dist upgrade something happened, broken packages occured and unmet dependecies are shown, so after that in the terminal asked me to type in this command "apt-get -f install" and so I did try that and this is what I got:



    sudo apt-get -f install

    Reading package lists... Done

    Building dependency tree       

    Reading state information... Done

    Correcting dependencies... Done

    The following extra packages will be installed:

    libjack-jackd2-0 libjack-jackd2-0:i386

    Suggested packages:

    jackd2 jackd2:i386

    The following NEW packages will be installed:

    libjack-jackd2-0 libjack-jackd2-0:i386

    0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.

I tried the following:



    sudo dpkg --configure -a <--- didn't work,

    sudo apt-get -f install <--- didn't work,

    sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status <---- I tried removing the broken package, still the same after using "sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock".

What solved the problem was this:



I just changed the package-name from libjack-jackd2-0 to libjack-jackd2-0.old, then I did the



  sudo apt-get install libjack-jackd2-0 libjack-jackd2-0:i386


It work for me, was because of this(This was the hint) which made me try following what he did:



'./usr/share/doc/libjack-jackd2-0/buildinfo.gz' is different from the same file on the system


what I did was I looked at the /usr/shar/doc/ to look for the libjack-jackd2-0 folder found it and appended in its name ".old" so that it won't find it again when doing the 



  sudo apt-get -f install libjack-jackd2-0 libjack-jackd2-0:i386


after changing the name, I tried doing the apt-get -f install it worked and it went smoothly as it should be and now everything's fine, I can install now using sudo apt-get without errors. I don't have to worry for later consequences because after that completed upgrade I removed the software or application that was using those packages via apt-get remove which was lmms(Linux MultiMedia Studio) and did some sudo apt-get autoremove if in-case there were packages left useless and never did I try re-installing it again.



Just got lucky I think. but I definitely don't recommend on doing this on every package dependency error because not all show the same errors;



Definitely reading and analyzing the error helped a lot. because some answered disabling the package on the package tree, some say remove the package and install again but got lucky that it was just a build file error.



I hope this helps..
