dpkg-query with those options does not output any arch qualifiers, just the
basenames (libc6-i686 and mksh).

$ dpkg-query --show --showformat='${status} ${package}\n' | egrep '(libc6-i686|mksh)'
install ok installed libc6-i686
install ok installed mksh

However ${binary:Package} gives the correct result for the m-a:same package:

$ dpkg-query --show --showformat='${status} ${binary:Package}\n' | egrep '(mksh|libc6-i686)'
install ok installed libc6-i686:i386
install ok installed mksh

But not for the foreign one.

`dpkg -L libc6-i686:i386' gives me a filelist, without the arch qualifier it
fails with the same error as in the cron mail.

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
