That seems to have done something.
At least the messages shown above disappeared when I said
dpkg --remove-architecture i368
apt-get update
But I cannot add the correct architecture:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
dpkg --print-architecture
just shows me 'amd64'.
'apt-get update' seems to have found some i386 packages
but the second architecture is not printed out.
