ok, so the culprit is shared-mime-info; for some reason apt calculated
that it would be better to install the i386 version of this package
instead of the amd64 one, despite the package being Multi-Arch: foreign
(meaning any architecture will suffice, but the native architecture is
preferred).  And shared-mime-info has to have a matching version of
libxml2, which has not been converted yet for multiarch, resulting in
the amd64 version being kicked out.

If you had already had the amd64 shared-mime-info installed before
installing ia32-libs, this probably would not have occurred.

Assigning this bug to apt, which should be more aggressive about
preferring the amd64 package versions.
