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: build-essential :
Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or
libc-dev
libc6-i386 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.6) but 2.15-0ubuntu10.10 is to be installed
libstdc++6-4.6-dev : Depends: libc6-dev (>= 2.13-0ubuntu6) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
So how to install libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.6) instead of libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.10)
the same for ibstdc++6-4.6-dev

Do
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade
Then run
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
If it works, then fine. or again try doing
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
One possible cause of unmet dependencies could be corrupted package database, and/or some packages weren’t installed properly. To fix this problem, hit Alt+Ctrl+T to open terminal and try to run one of the following commands:
sudo apt-get cleanor,
sudo apt-get autocleanapt-get clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files (the .deb files). It removes everything but the lock file from /var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/. apt-get autoclean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files, but unlike apt-get clean, it only removes package files that can no longer be downloaded, and are largely useless.
One of the most basic fixes to resolve dependencies problems is to run:
sudo apt-get -f installThe -f here stands for “fix broken”. Apt will attempt to correct broken dependencies. If you manually installed a package that had unmet dependencies, apt-get will install those dependencies, if possible, otherwise it may simply remove the package that you installed in order to resolve the problem.
Then run:
sudo dpkg --configure -aThen run this again:
sudo apt-get -f install
