The last currently-supported Ubuntu release to contain a lib32nss-mdns package is Ubuntu 14.04.

nss-mdns (0.10-7) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add Vcs-Git, Vcs-Browser fields
  * Move the git repo to collab-maint; it is still a pkg-utopia
    package, but there seems little reason to make it more awkward
    for other developers to commit changes.
  * Remove transitional lib32nss-mdns and libnss-mdns-i386 packages.
    The transition took place in Debian 8 (jessie) and we do not support
    direct upgrades from pre-jessie to stretch.
  * This upload includes automatic debug symbols (Closes: #642026)
  * Standards-Version: 3.9.7 (no changes needed)
  * Normalize packaging via wrap-and-sort -abst

I'm sorry, but we can't support third-party .deb packages that have not updated their packaging in over 6 years.

Fair enough. I generated a big report with Codeweavers as well. It's bizarre that their installer didn't blow up on 18.04. Regardless, sounds like their problem. Thank you for your time.
