That fixed it, thanks!

One more question about my current sources.list:

----
# deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main

deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free
deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main

deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

# squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main

# squeeze backports
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main

# latest stable
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
----


Should I now remove the squeeze sources, or replace them for something else?

What are the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list?

If you don't have any strong reason for staying with the old release, it's probably worth your while to add this line to your sources.list:

        deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

then run apt-get update, and apt-get dist-upgrade to auto-upgrade to the latest stable release, which does support multiarch. (It might take a while to do it, though, so you could leave it running overnight.)

Or, if you're feeling adventurous, use "testing" instead of "stable". Truth be told, 'testing' is actually far more stable than official
releases of certain popular OSes IME.
