Yes.. this is bug #37312, it's fixed in CVS (http://www.debian.org/~jgg/apt_0.3.5_i386.deb has a snapshot) It is really two bugs, the first is that the Arch field is null, because it is tring to determine the arch for a package that exists only in the status file. The second bug is that it is actually trying to do that :> There was a subtle logic error in how it decides if a package is broken enough to warrent downloading or not. A new release is due RSN now..
