You have to find the exact package and install it by name, not just 
plug a word in and panic!!  As you see, I have multiarch-support 
installed.  If you _can't_ see that I have multiarch-support 
installed, and I am assuming too much, then I suggest that you read 
up a bit on how to manage package managers.
