When you install one or the other like that are you removing the one that
was there before?  If not then you may have bits of both versions
installed.  I would try purging both of them (check that the files in the
folder mentioned in the error are gone) and then just install 3.2.  If you
want to switch back then uninstall that one before installing the other.

If 3.2 still doesn't work then perhaps it is a packaging error in Debian.
