Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.2~wipmultiarch
Severity: normal
I usually build linux-2.6 on amd64, but also test the binaries on an
i386 installation. I've been installing with --force-architecture up
until now. APT would basically ignore the foreign package; dpkg was
also happy to do this 'upgrade' to the same version with architecture
i386.
However, with multi-arch, this happens:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-1-amd64:i386
linux-image-3.2.0-1-amd64:amd64-
