Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 server

# lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release:        12.04

# apt-cache policy dselect
dselect:
  Installed: 1.16.1.2ubuntu7
  Candidate: 1.16.1.2ubuntu7
  Version table:
 *** 1.16.1.2ubuntu7 0
        500 http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

When I select a package in dselect which has some dependecies, after
selecting the dependecies and the package itself I expect that "Install"
should install all of them. But in 12.04 only the dependecies are
installed, the directly selected packages not. In dselect the directly
packages remains in "marked to install" state, but not installed.

Probably a multiarch problem, beacuse the dependencies installed usually
i386 packages not amd64 ones. Directly selected packages (without
dependencies) also installed as i386 packages instead of amd64 packages
though I selected  not the ":i386" version.
