Never mind, I played 10,000 monkeys and got it.
For the record in case it helps somebody else:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
returns a list which contained the offending file. Then
sudo dpkg --purge libssl1.0.0:amd64
Which did clean up its database. Then:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
which then returned this:
Setting up libssl1.0.0:i386 (1.0.1e-2+deb7u21) ...
Setting up openssl (1.0.1e-2+deb7u21) ...
Setting up libssl-dev (1.0.1e-2+deb7u21) ...
Setting up libpkcs11-helper1:i386 (1.09-1) ...
Setting up libp11-2:i386 (0.2.8-2) ...
which completed the i386 versions installation. I probably need to reboot
but I am behind a firewall in a dd-wrt reflashed router.
Yeah, nothing but kmail is running, nightly backup is done.
