Unrelated.  To install multiarch library packages for more than one
architecture, they must be at the same version.  The output above shows that
one of the architectures is coming from precise, and the other is coming
from precise-updates.  You will need to fix your config so that both are
coming from precise-updates.

Bug description:
  As documented in the release notes for 12.04, users of 11.10 64-bit
  need to upgrade apt and dpkg to the versions on oneiric-updates before
  upgrading to 12.04.

  If you did not install the dpkg update prior to upgrade and have hit
  this bug as a result, you will need to manually recover by running the
  following commands from a terminal:

   find /var/cache/apt/archives -name 'libjpeg8_*.deb' -name 'libtag1c2a_*.deb' \
       -name 'odbcinst_*.deb' -name 'libccid_*.deb' -name 'libao-common_*.deb' | sudo xargs dpkg -i
   sudo apt-get -f install
