I noticed this on 12.10 trying to get the Android SDK working. For 64 bit versions, it is required to install:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

However, under 64bit 12.10, I got the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch but it is not installable

And

> apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Package ia32-libs-multiarch is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source



E: Package 'ia32-libs-multiarch' has no installation candidate

I found the solution here comment #27,

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt-get update 

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Then the 32 bit libraries install fine (for me anyway!). Hope this helps somebody !
