[Bug 1639818] [NEW] libc6:i386 failed to install/upgrade (related to epson-inkjet-printer-escpr)

[doylep]

Public bug reported:

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.
