Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.2~wipmultiarch Severity: normal I usually build linux-2.6 on amd64, but also test the binaries on an i386 installation. I've been installing with --force-architecture up until now. APT would basically ignore the foreign package; dpkg was also happy to do this 'upgrade' to the same version with architecture i386.
However, with multi-arch, this happens: $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-1-amd64:i386 linux-image-3.2.0-1-amd64:amd64- Reading package lists...
