I am trying to install a program but I am getting a dependency error.

The error clearly points out:

Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6-amd64 (>= 2.14)

I went on to investigate and I found out that I have 2.19 version installed, actually:

alex@MaD-pc:~$ apt-cache policy libc6-amd64
libc6-amd64:i386:
  Installed: 2.19-0ubuntu6
  Candidate: 2.19-0ubuntu6
  Version table:
 *** 2.19-0ubuntu6 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Why am I getting this error if I already have this package?

I also should probably mention that the system is 100% up to date. I run the updates and upgrades, restarted the system and then tried to install the package again with the same error popping up.

Edit 1: I am using amd64 but I have installed some 32-bit libraries required by some program installed via wine if I recall correctly.
