I'm encountering the same bug on xubuntu-15.10: $ sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

The following packages have unmet dependencies: libpng12-dev:i386 : Depends: zlib1g-dev:i386 but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
