Colin, Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it now is reachable again. 
However, the problem is not solved. See the output:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

It looks like it didn't remove the old libraries but how to solve that 
without breaking much more is my problem.
When I mentioned in my former mail that I solved the problem with the 
graphics not starting and apt-get not working, that was solved by 
installing another version of libstdc++6:amd64 by downloading 
libstdc++6_5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.2_amd64.deb and installing using dpkg. 
But I don't know how to solve - apparently the same problem - for :i386.
