I ran into this as well. What I did was pretty simple:
1. install precise on an amd64 server, install a bunch of stuff
2. run dpkg --get-selections there
3. install a second amd64 server with precise
4 run apt-get update on the second server
5. run dpkg --set-selections with the list from the
Same problem here, I wanted to reinstall ubuntu 12.04.1 amd64 on my new
SSD and set-selections followed by dselect-upgrade destroyed the
brand new installation. I'll try disabling multiarch now, thanks for
that info.

Bugs,
Hello,
While reinstalling my system on a brand new SSD, I used --set-selections
to quickly reinstall all as previously. However, I ran into this issue.
I've been able to circumvent by disabling multiarch before calling dpkg
--set-selections, then run apt-get dselect-upgrade. Once everything has
I repro'd by choosing nullmailer with dselect, then using dselect I
command.

Title:
apt-get dselect-upgrade prefers multiarch over native
To
Attempted a reinstallation/cloning of precise as follows:
$ dpkg --get-selections | fgrep -c :i386
237
$ dpkg --get-selections selections.txt
$ sftp clonehost # ...
$ sudo dpkg --set-selections selections.txt
$ sudo apt-get -y update
$ sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
Ended up with bunch of errors
One more bit of information:
mounting /proc and /sys from the host into the chroot (as one should do
for using the chroot) actually does not make a difference for me.

Thanks. This looks like enough information to start working on it,
although I suspect that somebody will need to set up a test archive with
deliberately skewed packages across architectures in order to make this
truly reproducible.

Yep, depends on the archive you're using. I've used the above one since
it was lagging behind for long enough to show the effect. Moreover, I've
just picked the 'joe' package as an example (since it one affected by
the skew).
