I'm trying to install programs/apt upgrade and this group of libs aren't allowing me to do so

Question

I can't apt-get upgrade, I also tried installing software with the software center but no luck since those libs need dependencies. I tried removing them but that didn't work and I also tried various other commands, like sudo apt-get clean, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, sudo apt-get remove, sudo dpkg --configure -a, and sudo apt-get -f install.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gcc-4.8-multilib : Depends: libc6-dev-i386 (>= 2.11) but it is not installed
 libc6-dev-x32 : Depends: libc6-dev-i386 (= 2.19-0ubuntu6.6) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

try this

just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

at first, delete damaged files by rm command:

sudo rm -fr  /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev-i386_2.19-0ubuntu6.6_amd64.deb

now, change your sources.list

generate your new list from here:

http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/

copy all the lines and replace them instead of yours (use your favorite editor, i used vim here)

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bk
sudo vim.tiny /etc/apt/sources.list

now run these lines:

sudo apt-get  clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install
