Crossgrade to Amd64



I followed the instructions on http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser#Are_cross-grades_possible

 

Needed one more :amd64 package which I installed, then installed the dpkg-amd64 successfully.

 

This "worked."

Rebooted to the 64-bit kernel, everything OK.

 

Did apt-get update.

 

So now I have 90+ "broken" packages.

If I "fix," it will simply (re-)install dpkg, putting me back on i386.

 

Then, (with no new update), have 20+ broken packages (:amd64) which the "fix" will simply remove. Most of these have been around a while and were never flagged or gave problems (since simply never used).

 

So how do I complete the changeover?

 

Or do I simply reinstall the old dpkg and apt-get update, then hopefully back where I started, await updated crossgrade procedure?
