`By trying to install dos2unix on ubuntu 16.04 I came across with this problem:

libc6-dbg:amd6Multi-Arch: same : Depends: libc6:amd6Multi-Arch: same (= 2.23-0ubuntu10) but it will be not installed

Typing sudo apt -f install, returns:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them. The following packages will be REMOVED:

libc6-dbg:amd6Multi-Arch: same

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 144 not upgraded. After this operation, 25.6 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Accepting this, returns:

dpkg: error: --remove needs a valid package name but 'libc6-dbg:amd6Multi-Arch: same' is not: illegal architecture name in specifier 'libc6-dbg:amd6Multi-Arch: same': character ' not allowed (only letters, digits and characters '-')

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];

Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or 'more' !
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

When I do upgrade, returns the following issue:

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:
 libc6-dbg:amd6Multi-Arch: same : Depends: libc6:amd6Multi-Arch: same (= 2.23-0ubuntu10) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

apt-cache policy dos2unix, returns:
 Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 6.0.4-1
  Version table:
     6.0.4-1 500
        500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages

The problem now is that I can't do upgrade. I have tried do remove the package sudo apt remove libc6-dbg:amd6Multi-Arch, but no sucess E: Unable to locate package libc6-dbg:amd6Multi-Arch

Also I tried this Ubuntu fix dependency problems and did not work.

How can we overcome this? I dont even need to install dos2unix, but now I have trouble to install any other packge.
