Linux Mint 14 - Libjpeg8 and Libjpeg8:i386 Broken

[Spessarite]

My problem is that my libjpeg8 and libjpeg8:i386 are both broken, they are conflicting with each other and I have tried to uninstall them and ended up with a broken system and being forced to re-install my entire operating system (so don't even suggest for me to uninstall one of them because a lot of applications depend on both). Anyways, I run a 64 Bit version of Linux Mint 14 on a laptop. Everything works fine besides the fact that anything and I mean anything that depends on libjpeg8 cannot be installed because it is broken. If anyone knows a fix to this (hopefully permanent fix) that would be great.

Not sure, if this will help. Can you try this, if you haven't already?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libjpeg8 
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libjpeg8:i386

Just tried, got a error:

This happened to me as well, while trying to install Kali Linux packages on top of Linux Mint 14 (rough steps: [url]http://em3rgency.com/create-your-own-pentesting-operating-system/[/url]). Any suggestions?

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libjpeg8 : Breaks: libjpeg8:i386 (!= 8c-2ubuntu7) but 8d-1 is installed
 libjpeg8:i386 : Breaks: libjpeg8 (!= 8d-1) but 8c-2ubuntu7 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I'll probably try the same steps using Ubuntu, or just use the Kali distro.
