Yes.. this is bug #37312, it's fixed in CVS
(http://www.debian.org/~jgg/apt_0.3.5_i386.deb has a snapshot)
It is really two bugs, the first is that the Arch field is null, because
it is tring to determine the arch for a package that exists only in the
status file. The second bug is that it is actually trying to do that :>
There was a subtle logic error in how it decides if a package is broken
enough to warrent downloading or not.
A new release is due RSN now..
