Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
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.
So what the heck so I do now? Even just trying to install ia32-libs from the software center still yields a dependency error, it's been updated so that isn't the issue.
Okay, did what you said, still getting a dependency error when trying to get the ia32-libs package.
What happens when you run apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch
It should tell you wants not installing.

Oh, do you have Steam installed already?
That could be the problem, as Steam has already tried to install itself on your system but is currently broken, Uninstall Steam, then install ia32-libs, then it shouldn't give you a problem.

In regards to the website: fan-fucking-tastic, are you telling me I can't fix this problem? I'm not a smart man, I can follow instructions and do simple tasks, I do not know half the mumbo-jumbo they're posting aside from the general fact that ia32-libs is broken or something along those lines.
I can't install Steam, it won't even attempt to do so because all I see is an i386 "wrong architecture" error.
It's not "broken" It's just not available depending on the architecture of your system. The easiest solution is to just run the 32 bit version of Ubuntu and this will clear up everything.

Package ia32-libs-multiarch is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'ia32-libs-multiarch' has no installation candidate
Okay, it "got" a lot of packages, should I restart now or what?
Well I can install steam now, thanks.
Yes, then it should have added the 32bit architecture to your PC, so you should be able to install all of the ia32-libs.
