The newly uploaded 0.6.6-1ubuntu1.2 version works perfectly for me on a
reasonably complicated Precise server with a mixture of i386 and amd64
packages.

Upon starting aptitude, it immediately started complaining about broken
packages and all sorts of fixes that it wanted to apply to fix all sorts
of problems, so I was skeptical at first. However, this turned out to be
because of some pending actions that aptitude still remembered from the
last time that I ran aptitude (months ago, just to test whether the
problem with multiarch had been fixed without me noticing). Telling
aptitude to forget all pending actions got me a perfectly clean system
according to aptitude.

Thanks for all the efforts, I love aptitude very much, although I've
gotten used to using apt-get as well now :-) Aptitude is much easier to
use for selectively upgrading packages, though, which is sometimes
necessary on my servers to minimize downtime caused by package upgrades.
