After an upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 (beta 2), I seem to have a corrupt package manager. When I try to fix, install, or remove a package, apt-get fails with:
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)
Not a problem, so far. However, the suggestion fails with:
$ sudo apt-get -f install

The following extra packages will be installed:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 52 not upgraded.
19 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0 B/30.6 kB of archives.
After this operation, 100 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

libpostproc52:amd64 6:0.git20120821-4 (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with libpostproc52 which has multiple installed instances
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Is there a recommended way to directly remove libpostproc52 or related files? I have already tried every apt-get command.
