For diagnostic purposes please provide the output of the following commands:

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
dpkg --print-architecture
dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

The package "multiarch-support" has been obsolete already for seveal years and finally has been removed from Ubuntu 19.10.
see also https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=910669
If there is still some software depending on that package, then this is a weakness of that software and should be reported to its provider.
