Public bug reported: This bug appeared when I was trying to install teamviewer which doesn't work. There are some dependencies that break the installation. Then I tried to remove teamviewer: sudo apt-get remove teamviewer 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: libpng12-0 : Breaks: libpng12-0:i386 (!= 1.2.54-1ubuntu1) but 1.2.50-2+deb8u3 is to be installed libpng12-0:i386 : Depends: libc6:i386 (>= 2.11) but it is not going to be installed Depends: zlib1g:i386 (>= 1:1.1.4) but it is not going to be installed Breaks: libpng12-0 (!= 1.2.50-2+deb8u3) but 1.2.54-1ubuntu1 is to be installed E: Unmet dependencies.
