You're almost there. Try installing the missing dependencies by hand.
First check if the 32 and 64-bit version are the same for the packages that have an :i386 suffix.

Code: Select all

apt policy libgphoto2-6:i386 libgphoto2-6

If in both versions the "Candidate" version number is the same, try installing the package.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libgphoto2-6:i386

And repeat the steps until you come across a package where the version numbers do not match.
In that case, install the version number that appears for both architectures.
For example

Code: Select all

sudo apt install package:i386=1.2.3 package=1.2.3
