ia32-libs-multiarch being broken (caused by a couple 32-bit packages) is a known problem, and there's a way to fix it on an individual system. See:

https://trisquel.info/en/issues/8155

It sounds like you panicked and removed basic system packages. Bad idea in general; better to deal with problems cautiously and be sure you understand what you're doing at each step. It's not going to get any more broken if you do nothing, but it might if you do the wrong thing.

Probably you should make sure the trisquel and trisquel-recommended packages are installed.

By the way, for future reference, what you should have done if it weren't possible to solve the broken packages is remove all the packages apt was complaining about, all at once. So, you should have done "sudo apt-get remove libsdl-image1.2debian:i386", then added the 32-bit package apt said was causing a problem with that command, and keep doing it until it works. You instead used a force option, which is pretty much asking to destroy your system if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
