[Ben Johnson <1365375@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To follow-up on my previous comment, I was able to work around this
"broken state" in aptitude by purging the offending packages with
"--force-depends":

dpkg --purge --force-depends "gcc-multilib"
dpkg --purge --force-depends "lib32z1-dev"
dpkg --purge --force-depends "libc6-dev-x32"

Now, I'm able to use "apt-get" as normal.

Hopefully, this workaround won't cause problems in the future.
