samba-libs:i386 Dependency hell

[Nicholas Markovich]

Trying to install the 32bit Samba libraries for a compile of Wine for some regression testing. Stuck in dependency hell:

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:
python3 : Conflicts: python3:i386 but 3.10.6-1~22.04 is to be installed
python3:i386 : Conflicts: python3 but 3.10.6-1~22.04 is to be installed

python3.10-minimal:i386 : Conflicts: python3.10-minimal but 3.10.6-1~22.04.2 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
kernel  ~  100 

Lots of stuff depends on python, removing it would be a headache:

Code:

 kernel  ~  100  sudo apt remove python3
