Just encountered this on Ubuntu MATE 15.10 for the Raspberry Pi 2. The file /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/compiz/libstaticswitcher.so is in compiz-plugins-default and compiz-plugins but the packages are not marked as conflicting.

Consequently Compiz can't be installed, or upgraded, on armhf.

The following workaround worked for me:

$ sudo dpkg --remove ubuntu-mate-desktop compiz-plugins
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
