It wouldn't be an a:amd64 -> b:i386 dependecy (not a:i386)?
As Dimitri says, it only works when i386/amd64 is enabled. The cleanest
option seems to be to just drop the lib32bz* packages.
For the record, I run some tests:
Case 1: i386 multiarch is not enable: apt does not consider to upgrade
it automatically, however apt-get install lib32bz2-1.0 understands the
dependency, but since it cannot satisfy it, it exits with error.
aptitude automatically considers to upgrade lib32bz2-1.0, but given the
unmet dependency, it removes the package as first solution.
Case 2: i386 mulitarch enabled: both apt-get and aptitude automatically
consider the upgrade and solve the dependencies.
I've found more issues trying to downgrade.
Thanks for your comments,
Santiago
