Package: apt
Version: 1.0.6
Severity: normal

When running "apt-get update", I get:

[...]
Reading package lists... Done
W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libcdio-dev'
W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libiso9660-dev'
W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libudf-dev'
W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libcdio-dev'
W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libiso9660-dev'
W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libudf-dev'
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

At least the latest line is bogus: this is just what I did,
running "apt-get update", and running it again doesn't correct
these problems.

Moreover I usually use aptitude, and these warnings corrupt its
display.
