Title:
  Installing samba-dev:i386 breaks Ubuntu 22.04.1.

Status in python3.10 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS:  sudo apt install samba-dev:i386

  Installs a bunch of stuff relating to the libreoffice suite and at the
  tail end of the installation of the above-named package, apt removes a
  plethora of absolutely essential packages need to use Ubuntu,
  including, but not limited to the entire desktop, gdm, and the ability
  to access the internet to download any packages with apt.  The entire
  virtual machine (other than a rudimentary terminal when booting up)
  was broken after installing samba-dev:i386 and needed to be restored
  from a backup.  Please either have apt refuse to install samba-
  dev:i386, or at the very least, provide a complete list of essential
  packages that will be removed with a mandatory interactive
  confirmation to proceed.

  I had tried to install this package, which is one of the dependencies
  for building Wine from source:

  Wine ... configure: 32-bit/64-bit libnetapi not found, Samba NetAPI
  won't be supported.
