Update Manager broken package libxext6 and libxext6:i386 [duplicate]

This problem seems similar to some, but none of the fixes work. When I try to update, it reads/displays the packages, but it will not install. The error message I got in the terminal is:

dpkg: error processing libxext6 (--configure): libxext6:amd64 2:1.3.0-3build1 cannot be configured because libxext6 is in a different version (2:1.3.0-3ubuntu0.1) dpkg: error processing libxext6:i386 (--configure): libxext6:i38 2:1.3.0-3ubuntu0.1 cannot be configured because libxext6:amd64 is in a different version (2:1.3.0-3build1) Errors were encountered while processing: libxext6 libxext6:i386 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned and error code 

I have an Intel processor, not an AMD, if that helps.

What should I do? I've tried:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get clear sudo apt-get autoclear sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get autoremove 

and a few other commands.

You could try:

sudo apt-get update --fix-missing 

As far as your architecture goes, Ubuntu calls 64bit packages AMD64, regardless of your processor being AMD or Intel.

Report if this works.
