Hi,

so the initial problem was with packages from other architectures which
where installed via --force-architecture which was never a good idea and
is now completely useless as Debian has proper MultiArch support to work
with packages from another arch correct, so this problem is gone and
hence this bugreport deserves to be closed which I am doing now.


There is a cornercase mentioned in the buglog I have to comment still:

This is going to be resolved with apt 1.1 which was reworked to deal with
'unexpected' architectures, so it now parses everything everywhere – that
required a rework of how we deal with dependencies internally, which is why
this took so long and why this is in 1.1 and not in 1.0 or somesuch…
