This might be a normal condition but a) this is not transparent to user, and b) it really does break apt's operation, at least partly. For a) maybe we should make this somehow auto-checked remotely and shown in reportbug? Or would you have a better idea? And for b) all "dist-upgrade" or "full-upgrade" failed suddenly. Yes, failing, user getting completely locked out. And "upgrade" operation installed just a fraction of the potential candidates (there were more reasons for that but the lack of dist-upgrade feature is still PITA). And the reason has not been obvious, and even debugging with -oDebug::pkgProblemResolver=true is NO FUN on bigger upgrades. And the eventual solution was close examination, and some guessing/observing that apt is confused and jumps between amd64 and i386, and then some FORCE magic, i.e. dpkg --remove --force-depends grub-common:i386 (don't ask me how this package got installed before, that system installation has been migrated a lot). Another candidate was an old iproute:i386 package which I also had to remove. Best regards, Eduard.
