Package: dselect
Version: 1.16.0.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When a package like libcms1 that has a Provides: field is installed for more 
then one architecture the resulting conflict is not resolved by internally 
distinguishing between the (two) architectures of the provided virtual
package.

Instead dselect tries to uninstall one of the two packages. This is not the
correct solution.

apt-get upgrade doesn't show this behaviour and handles this situation
correctly.
