I agree; this is a particularly severe bug because it renders the entire
apt-get facility useless.

For what it's worth, even though the last command is the command that
"fixes" the issue, I believe it to be desirable to execute the previous
two commands, too, because those packages are part of the problematic
dependency-chain.

In other words, even though it may be possible to remove only the
"libc6-dev-x32" package and "fix" the problem, that approach seems more
likely to introduce problems in the future (i.e., once Canonical fixes
this package).
