This is what I get
i dpkg - Debian package management system

Tried changing that -- no change in effect
Now
aptitude dist-upgrade
The following NEW packages will be installed:
dpkg:i386{ab} libbz2-1.0:i386{a} libjpeg62-turbo:i386{a} libsystemd0:i386{a}
some other stuff
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dpkg : Conflicts: dpkg:i386 but 1.17.23 is to be installed.
dpkg:i386 : Conflicts: dpkg but 1.17.13 is installed.
So I can only conclude that aptitude sees the need to upgrade
from .13 to .23 but for some reason it cant 'get out' of the
installed dpkg:amd64
