How do you install i386 packages in Cosmic?

As of Cosmic, all of the following packages are broken from apt:




  • libc6:i386

  • libx11-6:i386

  • libxext6:i386

  • libstdc++6:i386

  • libexpat1:i386


..and certainly others, but these are the ones I need. It appears that libc6:i386 has been renamed to libc6-i386, but the others don't have that.



The i386 packages still appear to be in the repository; for instance:



https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/cosmic/i386/libx11-6



But how are they installed onto a 64-bit system now?
