Here the solution for this problem, super easy way ;)



You have to use dpkg direct to solve this problem sometimes.



"Here we go again"



The package multiarch-support is unpacked, but has never been configured this means the package soon will configure, but is not configured yet.



When is the status unpacked the package is not installed yet, so the package libgcc1 cannot install because of the dependency is not installed yet and cannot be installed before multiarch-support.



We have to force the installed status for multiarch-support to do the trick.



nano /var/lib/dpkg/status


find the the line starting with Package:
something like:



Package: multiarch-support

Status: install ok unpacked


You have to change the unpacked to installed



Now try:



sudo dpkg --configure --pending

sudo apt-get install --reinstall multiarch-support libgcc1 debconf


I think you can get the system working again this way, let me known if you can do.
