gdebi won't install on 64 bit Ubuntu

I'm trying to install Crossover Office 16.1.0 on 64 bit Ubuntu 16.04. The procedure in the instructions doesn't work. It looks like a 32 bit problem.

What do I need to do?

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 ; sudo apt-get update

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
crossover:i386 : Depends: libc6:i386 (>= 2.11) but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Never mind. I see the solution buried in the diagnostic output:
apt-get -f install

This seems to have fixed it.
