What is the difference between libc6: i386 and libc6-i386

I use Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l.

Installed here libc.

$ dpkg --list | grep libc6
ii  libc6:amd64                                           2.19-0ubuntu6.7                                     amd64        Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii  libc6-dbg:amd64                                       2.19-0ubuntu6.7                                     amd64        Embedded GNU C Library: detached debugging symbols
ii  libc6-dev:amd64                                       2.19-0ubuntu6.7                                     amd64        Embedded GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files
ii  libc6-i386                                            2.19-0ubuntu6.7                                     amd64        Embedded GNU C Library: 32-bit shared libraries for AMD64
rc  libc6-x32                                             2.19-0ubuntu6.7                                     amd64        Embedded GNU C Library: X32 ABI Shared libraries for AMD64

But when I do $ sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-3:i386

The following errors will appear:

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:
 libdbus-1-3:i386 : Depends: libc6:i386 (>= 2.10) but it is not going to be installed
 unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
                        Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

I am wondering what is the difference between libc6: i386 and libc6-i386?

libc6: i386 is the version of libc i386 for the kernels / systems of the i386 architecture. This is for running packages built for i386 systems, and is required if you are trying to use i386 packages on an amd64 system. This is called multiarch.

libc6-i386 is a 32-bit libc development package for amd64 systems. This is not for running software; it is for compiling and linking 32-bit code.
