Bug#595138: apt: multiarch installation complains about removed but not purged packages

[Simon Richter <sjr@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.8.0
Severity: minor

Hi,

I'm trying to install an in-house package that uses multi-arch, but apt
complains:

W: Internal error, group 'snmp-mibs-downloader' has no installable pseudo package

This package has been deinstalled as it was obsolete, but is still in
"config-files" state.
