On my laptop i am using linux mint 18.3 with kernel 4.15. I get the following error when unsing apt update and apt upgrade.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bluez : Conflicts: bluez-alsa:i386 but 4.98-2ubuntu7 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
I tried purging an reinstalling bluez with no success. The way to temporarly fix this problem was by holding back the "bluez.alsa:i386"-package, because this error would also prevent all other packages from upgrading.
Using dkpg --status bluez | grep '^Version:' tells me that i am
using
Version: 5.37-0ubuntu5.1 of bluez.
Output of apt policy bluez bluez-alsa bluez-alsa:i386 :
