6 years later, I'm encountering the same issue in Ubuntu 18.04.
sudo apt install libfreetype6-dev:i386
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libfreetype6-dev:i386 : Depends: libc6-dev:i386 but it is not going to be
installed or
libc-dev:i386
Depends: zlib1g-dev:i386 but it is not going to be
installed or
libz-dev:i386
Depends: libpng-dev:i386 but it is not going to be
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
And then, for the linux-libc-dev:i386 dependency:
sudo apt install linux-libc-dev:i386
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
build-essential g++ g++-7 gcc-7-multilib gcc-multilib libc6-dev libc6-dev-i386
libc6-dev-x32 libfreetype6-dev libpng-dev libstdc++-7-dev linux-libc-dev
zlib1g-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-libc-dev:i386
I echo kenorb's sentiment: is there a workaround to install the 32-bit
FreeType libraries?

I'm on
alex@leon:~$ uname -a

It's a fresh 12.04 install from a mini 30MB iso dd'ed to a USB flash drive.
So it's clean and up-to-date.
I have libfreetype6 and libfreetype6-dev installed.
To compile wine from source (32 and 64 bit version), I need both 32 and 64
bit development packages of several libraries.
For gcc, I had to install gcc-multilib instead of gcc:i386 (gcc and gcc:i386
seem to be incompatible).
But there is no freetype6-multilib package hence my bug report.
I think the following console output will tell you more things than
long sentences :
alex@leon:~$ sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev:i386

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? ^C
I'm sure you understand removing build-essential and gcc is not really
something I want to do.
Hopefully, wine provides a configure switch (--without-freetype) to
workaround the issue.
If you need more details, just let me know.
