Having the same issue. OS: Ubuntu 12.10 64 Bit Installed using WUBI installer
On a fresh install, and I mean nothing else installed. Ran sudo apt-get install ia32-libs and got: The following packages have unmet dependencies: ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. However when I came across Doridian's suggestion, it made sense so I gave it a try and it worked. I would have to say that Clems suggestion is also 100% correct for the WUBI installation of Ubuntu as it does not run through the traditional installer but extracts the tar.xz version which I assume only has 64 bit enabled and does not enable 32 bit.
