apt-get error, cannot install many packages?

  • 772

How do I fix this? It shows an error, and I don't know how to fix it. I want to install crossover.

EDIT

I have another recent error.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

running apt-get -f install gives me the same error every time.

    I have solved this problem myself.

    Just run :

    sudo apt-get autoremove crossover:i386

    and reinstall.
