Description
Various 32bit packages in multilib have broken dependencies. This might be because they are old (i.e., newer versions of the package don't create the -32bit variant package anymore but the old one sticks around) and should be removed from multilib:
I initially created dedicated issues for these, but as requested by @abenson and @Chocimier I've brought them together in one issue.

Research direction
Review the multilib package metadata for each listed 32-bit package and check whether its referenced dependency package and version still exist. Compare the current package versions to determine which dependencies are broken or obsolete; done means every checklist entry has a resolved dependency or a documented removal decision.
