          Since I happened to have the same problem with another package, wanting a reinstall, and all the methods in the answers either did nothing or first uninstall the whole system before reinstalling, I ended up with a solution.



          sudo aptitude reinstall libebml3:i386


          Of course, there must be another solution to force a package to reinstall using apt-get instead of aptitude.



          sudo apt-get install --reinstall libebml3:i386
