Tried your work around

The last command "dpkg --purge --force-depends "libc6-dev-x32"did help in resolving the issue.
Very irritating to see that one apt-get install breaks your entire system.

Got into this issue because I was trying to initialize an Android build environment on 14.04/64 bit.
The AOSP advises to install g++multilib which simply breaks the system.
I was not even able to install or remove any package when it was broken.
