I have error in apt-get install it is a error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gcc-4.8-multilib : Depends: libc6-dev-i386 (>= 2.11) but it is not going to be installed
 libc6-dev-x32 : Depends: libc6-dev-i386 (= 2.19-0ubuntu6.6) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I try several command like: apt-get -f install apt-get clean

I try change my source list, and remake apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install g++

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
