Shared libraries must not be marked Important: yes nor Protected: yes,
because that prevents them from being removed in a multiarch setup.
Please stop issuing these fields.
I do see that they were added to ease the upgrade from buster to
bullseye. I think that the harm caused by the field now outweighs its
benefits.
Removing foreign packages should just work:
| # dpkg --print-architecture
| amd64
| # apt-get purge libcrypt1:armhf
| Reading package lists... Done
| Building dependency tree... Done
| Reading state information... Done
| The following packages will be REMOVED:
| libcrypt1:armhf*
| WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.
| This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
| libcrypt1:armhf
| 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
| After this operation, 230 kB disk space will be freed.
| E: Removing essential system-critical packages is not permitted. This might
break the system.
