[Bug 963151] Re: apt-get / update-manager multiarch broke on libfreetype6 in Oneric today

[reini]

I experienced this as well, although I don't really consider it an important bug; if multiarch is disabled, there probably shouldn't be any foreign-arch packages installed, anyway.
To work around this bug, uninstall all foreign-arch (i386) packages.
