Bug#964475: dpkg breaks apt autopkgtest: dpkg: error: unknown option --foreign-architecture



Source: dpkg, apt
Control: found -1 dpkg/1.20.4
Control: found -1 apt/2.1.6

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of dpkg the autopkgtest of apt fails in testing
when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of dpkg from
unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular
form:

                       pass            fail
dpkg                   from testing    1.20.4
apt                    from testing    2.1.6
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of dpkg to testing
[1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against
both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the
bug to the right package?
