[Bug 1682667] Re: package libc6-dev-i386 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/include/bits', which is also in package libc6-dev-amd64:i386 2.24-3ubuntu2

Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and you should expect some breakage.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Release_has_reached_End_of_Life_.28EOL.29

Reporter, is this still present on 17.10 or 16.04?

** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Incomplete
