So in the last time I kinda' broke my Ubuntu server and I'm getting the following error, I want to say that I deleted some of the libjpeg8:i386 things and now I can't install any packages!

root@s1:~# apt-get install php-apc

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies:  
libgd3:i386 : Depends: libjpeg8:i386 (>= 8c) but it is not going to be installed  
libgphoto2-6:i386 : Depends: libjpeg8:i386 (>= 8c) but it is not going to be installed  
libsane:i386 : Depends: libjpeg8:i386 (>= 8c) but it is not going to be installed  
libtiff5:i386 : Depends: libjpeg8:i386 (>= 8c) but it is not going to be installed  
libv4lconvert0:i386 : Depends: libjpeg8:i386 (>= 8c) but it is not going to be installed  
php-apc : Depends: php5-apcu but it is not going to be installed 
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

This fixed my problem, sorry for bothering you guys, thanks for all the support!

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/var/cache apt/archives/libjpeg8_8c-2ubuntu8_i386.deb

Check everything is fixed by running : 

sudo apt-get -f install

If you still have problems rerun the first step with any dpkg: error processing (...) remaining
