Contrary to what I wrote in #16, I now agree with Steve that this isn't
a bug in ia32-libs or ia32-libs-multiarch.

I created a new virtual machine, installed a virgin copy of Quantal in
it, updated, and then installed ia32-libs.  It installed with no
problems, bringing ia32-libs-multiarch with it.  This implies that when
those packages won't install, it's because of a configuration problem on
the host.

Back on my precise host where I had this problem, after investigating I
found that I had some pinned packages installed that were incompatible
with ia32-libs in precise.  Once I uninstalled those, I was able to
install ia32-libs, and ia32-libs-multiarch with it, from the precise
repository.

If you can find the problem on your host, maybe the workaround I posted
in #17 will help.
