I also use apt-get, and if I would let apt-get -f install to remove the whole system, that would be a wrong decision. On the link you entered, all the people says, that this is no solution. I still cannot install 3rd party applications, and I don't really want to nearly reinstall my system. Because installing the :i386 versionj of a package would totally make a mess on the dpkg database. It would remove mostly all the packages first... That is anyway a previously 11.04 upgraded to 11.10 upgraded to 12.04 ubuntu system... So do you say, that this is normal, that to install a teamviewer, or skype, or any other 3rd party packages should remove most of the desktop packages first?
