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

[David Kalnischkies <kalnischkies+debian@gmail.com>]

Hi Simon Richter,

mhhh. I can't reproduce this here with a simple testcase -
such a package shouldn't be in the loop at all as it has no current
installed version…

Could you provide
apt-cache policy snmp-mibs-downloader
and maybe your /var/lib/dpkg/status file ?


Best regards
