While attempting to fix a problem with compiz settings manager, I got an idea from someone to purge compiz - sudo apt-get purge compiz. The compiz core packages are still intact however, the gui compizconfig-settings-manager is deleted and missing from synaptic. If I try to install through terminal I get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
compizconfig-settings-manager:i386 :

Depends: python-compizconfig:i386 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-gtk2:i386 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

Any suggestions or insight is appreciated. Thanks.
