Bug Description

I ran sudo apt-get --fix-broken install
and got this:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev-i386_2.23-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04

apt-cache policy libc6-dev-i386_2.23-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb
N: Unable to locate package libc6-dev-i386_2.23-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb

N: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libc6-dev-i386_2.23-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb'

I expected it to fix my video card driver issue with my new Supermicro X9DAi-O motherboard and other issue with it.

What happened is I got the above errors.
