Install 32 bit software in 64 bit Trisquel - Troubleshooting

Hi,
I wanted to install a program that has no 64 bit version on a 64 bit Trisquel install. I read that this was possible. I followed the instructions here: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-install-a-32bit-program-in-64bit-ubuntu since I couldn't find Trisquel specific instructions. I ran:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
This returned errors and now I have a red circle with a horizontal white line on the right side of the bottom bar on the GUI. When I click on it, it says:
------------
An error occurred. Please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get from a terminal to see what is wrong.
The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount > 0'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies.
-----------
At this point I would like to fix whatever I broke. I have tried several things explained below, but nothing has fixed the problem yet. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thank you.
What I have done so far:
I have run Synaptic Package Manager. On starting the following error pops up:
-----------
You have 10 broken packages on your system!
Use the "Broken" filter to locate them.
-----------
I went to edit > fix broken packages. Apply. The following error is shown:
-----------

Well, I have spent most of the day trying to return my Trisquel to the way it was before I tried installing the ia32-libs. I think the solution must be to remove the broken packages manually, but I am wary of screwing things up further, since I understand these same named packages already exist with my 64 bit install. I am afraid if I try to remove them one by one I may end up removing the 64 bit ones.
As things stand, Trisquel still runs (I have not tried to restart yet) but I cannot do any updates or install any new packages.
Any pointers would be highly appreciated. I am a rookie at GNU/Linux and I am afraid to start tinkering and make the system unusable.
Thanks!

I have tried removing the packages individually but that doesn't work either:

Some problems after fix:
Could not launch Pidgin. Had to:
reinstall libcanberra-gtk-module
reinstall python
remove and reinstall apparmor
We'll see what else I've broken.
ia32-libs-multiarch being broken (caused by a couple 32-bit packages) is a known problem, and there's a way to fix it on an individual system. See:
https://trisquel.info/en/issues/8155
It sounds like you panicked and removed basic system packages. Bad idea in general; better to deal with problems cautiously and be sure you understand what you're doing at each step. It's not going to get any more broken if you do nothing, but it might if you do the wrong thing.
Probably you should make sure the trisquel and trisquel-recommended packages are installed.
By the way, for future reference, what I think you should have done if it weren't possible to solve the broken packages (and what I previously did when I ran into this problem, before it had a solution) is remove all the packages apt was complaining about, all at once. So, you should have done "sudo apt-get remove libsdl1.2debian:i386", then added the 32-bit package apt said was causing a problem with that command (e.g. if it was foo:i386, the next attempt would be "sudo apt-get remove libsdl1.2debian:i386 foo:i386"), and keep doing it until it works. You instead used a force option, which is pretty much asking to destroy your system if you don't know exactly what you're doing.

Thank you for the explanation. I did try to remove the packages one by one with "sudo apt-get remove package" but it wouldn't remove anything...it would just keep complaining about the dependencies.
How can I check to make sure that the trisquel and trisquel-recommended packages are installed?
(yes, it was a bit of a panic) *blush*

do you think I still need to do this:
----------------
Problem solved ! Just needed to remove the old changelog files on the /usr/share/doc/ folder.
But this need to be solved.
Best Regards,
Luis Da Costa
---------------
If so, how should I proceed? My Trisquel seems to be working well now, but as you have seen I am no expert :/
Thank you again!
You can remove multiple packages at once. Just list them all as arguments.
For example: "apt-get remove foo bar baz" would remove the hypothetical foo, bar, and baz packages all at once.
I am a member!
I understand what you mean now. If I run into a problem like this again, I will try that approach. By the way, the system seems to be working well so far. I initially considered reinstalling it, but so far I think there is no need.
Thanks again for your help.
I am a member!
You were right. trisquel and trisquel-recommended packages were no longer installed. Installing them again now.
