Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I have some broken packages which I tried to fix with
Code:
sudo apt-get -f install
and it tries to install package called libopenthreads20 and got this as the output
Code:
Unpacking libopenthreads20:amd64 (3.2.3+dfsg1-2+openmw~trusty4) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libopenthreads20_3.2.3+dfsg1-2+openmw~trusty4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenThreads.so.3.2.1', which is also in package libopenthreads14:amd64 3.2.3+dfsg1-2+openmw~trusty3
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The results you posted indicate you may have used "-o" rather than "-a" in the command that Keruskerfuerst suggested. You may also need to use the "sudo" prefix before the command, as mentioned here.
Oh shit I'm stupid it's --configure not -configure but yeah doing

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Thank you all for your replies. I fixed it by downloading libopenthreads20:i386 from software manager. Have no idea how it fixed that but that doesn't really matter at least not for me.
