--force-all never 'solves' anything, it just pushes hard enough and
ignores the problems to make things appear ok. If you have a 2 ton
hammer you can probably put a nail into almost anything.
all the --force options (except perhaps --force-depends which apt-get
easily repairs again afterwards) just hides the problem and could come
back to bite you later. It may be a workaround/hack but it is never a
solution.

Sure, the libs should work fine, but who owns the conflicting files now?
the oo libs or the ia32 libs package or both or neither?
