title: unable to install 32 bit libraries on 64 bit ubuntu
body: <p>I am trying to set up android dev environment on my 64 bit ubuntu 14.04.</p>
  
  <p>But I am getting a dependency deadlock while trying to install 32 bit libraries.</p>
  
  <p>I have added multi-architecture support.
  <code>sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
  </code></p>
  
  <p>But when I try to install the libraries, I get this</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 
  </code></pre>

    <p>The following packages have unmet dependencies:<br>
     libc6:i386 : Depends: libgcc1:i386 but it is not going to be installed<br>
     libstdc++6:i386 : Depends: libgcc1:i386 (>= 1:4.1.1) but it is not going to be installed<br>
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.</p>

  <p>I have tried to install libgcc along with this too, but that leads to just an infinite loop of other dependencies.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
