This issue affected me as well, and thanks a lot for a quick work-
around.
Just in case anyone else is having the additional problems that I had,
where apt update wanted to reinstall the unmodified after I applied the
workaround above: I needed to do the following in addition:
dpkg --configure -a
It is probably somehow related to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libffi/+bug/1943312
A slight modification of the proposed workaround in the bugreport
mentioned above worked in my case:
apt download libffi8 libffi8:i386
for d in libffi8*.deb; do
dpkg-deb -x $d $d.dir;
Package: libffi8
Version: 3.4.3-1
Severity: serious
Dear Maintainer,
Would be nice to know why this package provides libffi8ubuntu1 ?
,
| dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libffi8:amd64:
| libffi8:i386 (3.4.3-1) breaks libffi8ubuntu1 and is unpacked but not
configured.
