Fixed in 19.

The attempt to remove the diversions actualy is not the problem. The rm is. If you touch /usr/share/ia32-apt-get/dists/transitional/Release.gpg you should be able to purge ia32-apt-get and then reinstall. As a matter of interest why did you cancel the initial install of ia32-apt-get half way through? This only happens when you stop it at a bad place.
