Running Ubuntu Desktop 12.04.3 64 bit. I recently downloaded and installed a 32-bit DEB package by mistake. Now I can't make apt-get install updates, since it tells me that there are unmet dependencies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
minecraft-overviewer:i386 : Depends: python2.7:i386 but it is not installed or
python2.6:i386 but it is not installable
Depends: python:i386 (>= 2.6) but it is not installed
Depends: python:i386 (< 2.8) but it is not installed
Depends: python-imaging:i386 but it is not installed
Depends: python-numpy:i386 but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When I run apt-get install with the '-f' option, I get this rather terrifying message:
$ sudo apt-get -f install

There's no way I'm going to do that. Scary.
I guess my next step should be to work through the Package Manager Troubleshooting steps (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure) and post the results here.
