Hi there,
I'm trying to install libffi-dev and receiving this error [1]:
 libffi-dev : Depends: libffi6 (= 3.2.1-4) but 3.2.1-6 is to be installed

However, my system already had the libff6=3.2.1-6 [2,3].
I also tried updating and installing this package, however did not work [4].

I would appreciate your feedback on this.

Thanks a lot,

Info about my system:
