dependencies

I am doing this from memory from work.

Basically, I have libjpeg-turbo8 installed. But I have libjpeg-turbo8:i386 installed at version xxx4.4 and libjpeg-turbo8:amd64 installed at version xxx4.3. I am not sure how this mismatch happened.

I believe that 4.3 is the right version, so I would like to roll the 32 bit version back. apt-get install libjpeg-turbo8:i386xxxxxx4.3 did not work (as it was still complaining that it couldnt do anything because of the mismatch).

Basically, I cant do anything with apt-get because this mismatch is causing dependency hell. What is the proper way to resolve this.

The box is 64 bit 12.04.

In complex client side projects, the number of Javascript files can get very large.
