package libelf1:amd64 0.166-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: package libelf1:amd64 0.166-2ubuntu1 cannot be configured because libelf1:i386 is at a different version (0.165-3ubuntu1)

"The following packages have been kept back:"

no problem installing on yakkety amd64:

note: purge the libelf1:i386 which is no more into yakkety archive

in the end that's how I solved my issue: by forsaking libelf1:i386

I now realize I should have updated the launchpad thread

I am sorry.

Yours sincerely,
