[Bug 1917620] Re: failed to install libffi-dev package

Hello, xenial has version 3.2.1-4 and artful had 3.2.1-6.
Sadly, artful is EOL now, so no support is available for it anymore.
I would suggest you to upgrade to bionic or focal, the latest LTS available.

alternatively you can download manually the deb from there
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libffi/3.2.1-6/+build/10963483 and dpkg -i it.

But moving to 20.04 or newer is really the best option I suggest.

Title:
  failed to install libffi-dev  package

Status in libffi package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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:
