Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
When using 64bits system there are some cases where applications (mainly commercial ones) do not have a 64bit version, what makes you force the installation through terminal using dpkg command. It would be easier if Software Center offers the option and give an advertise to force the installation of the 32bit packages.

Hi Benjamin! Thanks for your bug report. This is not something that we will fix in software-center itself, so I'll mark this as invalid. Further down the stack though, there is work going on to support this. Once this is done it will 'automatically' become supported in software-center too.
