package libc6 2.13-17ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: libc6:amd64 2.13-17ubuntu2 cannot be configured because libc6

during normal apt-get upgrade.

Had previously installed an i386 libc6 to get flash plugin to work; then had disabled the foreigh arch.

Trying with it reenabled ..

/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch:
---8<---
foreign-architecture i386
--->8---

############

now I get:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libc6 : Breaks: libc6:i386 (!= 2.13-17ubuntu2) but 2.13-16ubuntu4 is installed
 libc6:i386 : Depends: libc-bin:i386 (= 2.13-16ubuntu4)
              Breaks: libc6 (!= 2.13-16ubuntu4) but 2.13-17ubuntu2 is installed
 libgomp1 : Depends: gcc-4.6-base (= 4.6.1-7ubuntu2) but 4.6.1-7ubuntu1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Well at least there's no crash.
