#14 same for me, I'm really considering moving back to natty until this
is fixed (also due to some other problems). So what would effect does
that workaround have, and what are the side effects?

Title:
  aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled

Bug description:
  TEST CASE:
  1. Enable multiarch (should be automatic on new oneiric systems)
  2. Install an i386 package on amd64 (like flashplugin-installer:i386)
  3. Mark something with a lot of dependencies for installation
  4. On the confirmation screen, try to remove on of the dependencies (aptitude will now fail to perform upgrades when there's a package conflict w/out removing the i386 libs)

  This renders aptitude painful on a multiarch enabled system (default
  in oneiric).
