Title:
  libc6:i386 failed to install/upgrade (related to epson-inkjet-printer-
  escpr)

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installing epson-inkjet-printer-escpr caused a failed installation of
  libc6:i386 (and libgcc1:i386). epson-inkjet-printer-escpr itself
  failed to install (due to the dependency on libc6 and libgcc1), and
  dpkg was left in a bad state.

  The problem was resolved (I believe) by forcing installation of all
  three packages (atp-get -f install epson-inkjet-printer-escpr
  libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386) and then removing all three packages.
