Title:
aptitude is confused by multi-arch support
Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Now that I'm on Oneiric, aptitude is barely useable. I have multi-arch
support turned on as I'm on amd64 architecture and some software is
only available as 32 bits.
But that confuses aptitude. Most packages are listed twice in the
display (once for each enabled architecture). But it's only when you
install something that you know if you asked for the i386 or amd64
package.
Also, it confuses it's dependency solver a lot. In many cases, i ended
up in a situation where it wanted to remove tens of packages.
Workaround: use the software center or apt-get for the time being.
