--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.6-1+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Some weeks ago, I added a foreign architecture to my amd64 test system and installed some basic i386 libraries. Today I did a full system upgrade using aptitude (u, U, g, g) which pulled a lot of packages - I do not boot this system very often, so this was to be expected. During the system upgrade, the following error was shown: >>> quote begin <<< De-configuring libc6:amd64 ... Unpacking replacement libc6:i386 ... Preparing to replace libc6:amd64 2.13-27 (using .../libc6_2.13-30_amd64.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libc6:amd64 ... dpkg: error: --configure needs a valid package name but 'libc6' is not: ambiguous package name 'libc6' with more than one installed instance Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' ! E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: >>> quote end <<< The remaining upgrade was canceled and the aptitude GUI was shown again. I then tried to install the updates again, which worked fine, showing the same error for libx11-6. However, the upgrade was successfully completed after the 2nd attempt. I will attach the full output of both attempts. It seems to me that in some places, aptitude is still calling dpkg without properly qualifying the architecture of the affected package.

You still saw it because the your aptitude was not linked against the latest apt, i.e. you performed the upgrade with aptitude 0.6.6-1 rather than aptitude 0.6.6-1+b1. See #665727. Cheers, Sven
