A few day ago I have installed libpcap0.8-dev but after that I installed libpcap0.8_1.4.0-2_amd64.deb and now I have tried almost of way to remove it but I can't! Since that, I can't install any package!!!

here is code:

$ sudo apt-get -f install

The following extra packages will be installed:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  libpcap0.8
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded
2 not fully installed or removed.

After this operation, 13,3 kB of additional disk space will be used.

If I do:

$ sudo apt-get purge libpcap0.8-dev:i386 libpcap0.8:i386

Package 'libpcap0.8-dev:i386' is not installed, so not removed. Did you mean 'libpcap0.8-dev'?
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpcap0.8-dev : Depends: libpcap0.8 (= 1.5.3-2) but 1.4.0-2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

And if I just type sudo apt-get purge libpcap0.8-dev

$ sudo apt-get purge libpcap0.8-dev
