[Bug 1871268] Re: Installation fails with Could not configure 'libc6:i386'. , E:Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libgcc-s1:i386'

Although this is marked as "Invalid" for 20.04, this problem has somehow
started happening in GitHub Actions Ubuntu 20.04 virtual environment
since today (2020-07-24), even though it worked correctly before. I
don't know if attaching the entire build log is desirable, but as the
result of running these commands

2020-07-24T22:46:28.8786226Z sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
2020-07-24T22:46:28.8786352Z sudo apt-get update
2020-07-24T22:46:28.8786474Z sudo apt-get --assume-yes install \
2020-07-24T22:46:28.8786604Z   automake bc bsdmainutils bzip2 curl cvs default-jre \
2020-07-24T22:46:28.8786724Z   g++-mingw-w64-i686 g++-multilib git jing libarchive-tools \
2020-07-24T22:46:28.8786866Z   libtool libxml2-utils libxslt1-dev make patch pkg-config rsync \
2020-07-24T22:46:28.8787006Z   shellcheck sudo trang unzip wine32 wget xsltproc

I get, after many snipped lines, the following error:

2020-07-24T22:50:38.3418072Z Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.31-0ubuntu9) ...

2020-07-24T22:50:40.0526698Z ##[error]Process completed with exit code 100.

and there don't seem to be any other errors in the output until these
lines, so I have no idea why does this happen.

FWIW the same step of this workflow succeeds when run in Ubuntu
18.04-based GitHub virtual environment, but it doesn't have sufficiently
up-to-date packages for building this software, so I can't use it and
would really appreciate any workaround for this problem under 20.04.
