Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Michael Nagel (nailor)]

some parts of your messages are in polish, so i am not sure, but do you think this is the same as bug #1022029

[Edward Donovan (edward.donovan)]

I think you're right (though I didn't get this bug), this is the same as bug 1022029.

In the archive now, the amd64 and i386 packages are in sync, at version 3.9.6-6ubuntu1 . Has that resolved the problem for everyone? I think that should fix it. Thanks.

The problem is still not resolved for me. My package system is broken.
I tried install -f, but it still won't work

[Edward Donovan (edward.donovan)]

Ah, thanks for the info. Are the libtiff packages still the ones apt is complaining about?

If so, it might help to install them directly with dpkg.

  cd /tmp
  apt-get download libtiff4 libtiff4:i386
  sudo dpkg -i libtiff4*deb

And then see if apt is any happier. I've just seen a couple bugs that needed that workaround, so that comes to mind. But I suppose that might be worth as much as my first idea...

Yes! that fixed it. Just got to try it out today, been busy.

Many Thanks,
Jason

[Edward Donovan (edward.donovan)]

Hey, Jason, that's great!

I think we can mark this as fixed. Thanks.
