The default installed Avahi libraries on my system, at least, (12.0.4.3,
amd64) are the following:

cbell at circe:~$ dpkg -l | awk '{if ($2 ~ /avahi/) print $2}'
libavahi-client3
libavahi-common-data
libavahi-common3
cbell at circe:~$

So I'd start with installing the 32-bit versions of these and see how much
further you get:

$ sudo apt-get install $(dpkg -l | awk '{if ($2 ~ /avahi/) print
$2":i386"}')

Here's what your system will do if you run this command:

cbell at circe:~$ sudo apt-get install $(dpkg -l | awk '{if ($2 ~ /avahi/)
print $2":i386"}')
