Hi guys,
I was trying to install acroread when I mistakenly tried to install acroread-bin i386. I guess it was a mistake since I have a 64 bit system. Now this package is stuck and I can neither complete the installation nor roll it back. I am not able to install or update or remove any package ever since. Following is the output to sudo apt-get install -f:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
nvidia-settings-updates nvidia-settings
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
acroread-bin:i386
Suggested packages:
libldap2:i386 libgnome-speech7:i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
