Hello! My system is a debian wheezy amd64 with multiarch enabled since I installed eagle (i386 only) some time ago. I also had teamviewer (i386) installed. The system was up to date most of the time.
Some days ago I tried to install a locally build version (build in a i386 chroot environment) of wine 1.7.35, which didn't work because of some unmet ia32 dependencies. The apt-get output suggested to fix the problem with 'apt-get -f install'. Luckily I was able to cut&paste the output into a text file.... X-( This command uninstalled almost the complete Xorg and Gnome packages. Because of my log, I was able to reinstall the removed packages. But I was still unable to install the homemade wine because of some strange dependencies with libncurses5. I now decided to use playonlinux and installed this package together with the debian wine and wine64-bin package (amd64 versions). After installing a wine 32 bit version with playonlinux, I was asked to install wine:i386. And now it started all over... I'm getting the unmet dependency messages again. But now 'apt-get -f install' did nothing... Now I tried to fix the problem and removed all installed i386 packages (eagle, teamviewer ...) and did a 'dpgk --remove-achitecture i386'. After an 'apt-get update' and an 'dpgk --remove-achitecture i386' I tried to reinstall playonlinux with it's dependencies. And I also tried to reinstall eagle...

It seems that some of the amd64 and i386 packages are available in different versions, which causes the conflicts.. I don't know how to fix this except perhaps by reinstalling my system.... so any help is welcome.
