Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cli-common : Depends: perl but it is not going to be installed
libc6 : Breaks: libc6:i386 (!= 2.24-7) but 2.24-5 is to be installed
libc6:i386 : Breaks: libc6 (!= 2.24-5) but 2.24-7 is to be installed
[...]
I don't know how to make sense of these "breaks" versions. libc6
doesn't even have a revision -7. Should both of those be
"breaks ... != 2.24-6"?
