The package libdrm-nouveau2 exists in the official repos. The :i386 extension is not part of the package name. It denotes that you want to install the 32-bit version of the package. Type:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install libdrm-nouveau2:i386 to force its re-installation.

The :i386 is not even needed if you have installed the 32-bit version of Ubuntu. You can safely omit it from the command.
