[Bug 1942872] [NEW] libc6-i386 asks for older package on up to date Ubuntu 20.04

[Gilbertf]

Public bug reported:

Currently using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
All packages are up to date and apt update + apt upgrade report everything is up to date.
I currently have libc6 installed as version 2.31-0ubuntu9.3
When trying to install the i386 package of libc6 (libc6-i386) the installation fails because it says it requires 2.31-0ubuntu9.2, which conflicts with version 9.3 currently installed

To reproduce :
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install libc6-i386

Returns :
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libc6-i386 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.31-0ubuntu9.2) but 2.31-0ubuntu9.3 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
