Title:
  i386 packages queried in amd64 system

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After a fresh install of a amd64 system, when I do apt-get update;

  What is expected:
  amd64 updates are queried in the repository, and Hit.

  What is observed:
  both amd64 and i386 links are being queried sequentially, and both are being Hit. This did not happen in 11.04.
  Also as a result when I open synaptics package manager, the packages are also shown for i386 along with amd64. This need not happen in a amd64 system, unless explicitly specified.
