You will have to install the above packages yourself.

It says there that I have to install those packages by myself, but how to do this ?

When I am trying to sudo apt-get install <some_package> it tells me (example for gcc-4.8-multilib):

gcc-4.8-multilib : Depends: lib32gcc-4.8-dev (= 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed

                    Depends: libx32gcc-4.8-dev (= 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Can anybody help me resolve all of these packages installation ?

UPDATE 1:

for sudo apt-get install lib32gcc-4.8-dev I get:

open your terminal and type as

sudo apt-get autoclean

sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get autoclean clears out the local repository of retrieved
package files in the /var/cache/apt/archives. The difference is that it only removes package filesthat can no longer be downloaded, and are largely useless.

sudo apt-get autoremove used to remove packages that were automatically
installed to satisfy dependencies for other packages and are now no longer needed.

autoclean and autoremove used to ensure that there is no unneeded packages which may affect your system.

sudo apt-get update update the sources list and resynchronize the package index files from their sources.

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with of packages

At least some of your gcc packages are manually installed and correspond to a version which is newer than those in Ubuntu 14.04. To install g++-multilib and its dependencies you'll need to downgrade those packages to the versions in the archives.

Start by running

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9-base=4.9-20140406-0ubuntu1

and work your way up from there... That should give you a bunch of errors which will tell you which other packages you need to downgrade.

To downgrade the packages, you need to run apt-cache policy on each one to determine which version is in the archive (that's the version with a trusty URL), and add it to the sudo apt-get install line above; so you'd end up with

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9-base=4.9-20140406-0ubuntu1 package1=version1 package2=version2 ...

Alternatively you could just purge gcc and all related packages and re-install them.

You have other libraries with manually installed versions apparently, so it may take quite a bit of work to restore your system to match the archives.

My solution: in ubuntu's software and update,find the "updates" panel ,select Important security update and Recommended updates,then it works well.
