Title:
  apt fails to install libglapi-mesa-lts-quantal correctly on switching
  x stacks

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “apt” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in “apt” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm trying to get renaming x stacks between normal xorg and xorg from
  quantal working, and for that the I've renamed all the xorg packages
  with a conflicts/provides/replaces on the unrenamed packages.

  This works reasonably well but now switching between them fails if I
  have wine installed from ppa:~ubuntu-wine/ppa and ia32-libs installed.

  I'm switching by installing ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport , having
  xorg-server updated and libgl1-mesa-{glx,dri}{,:i386} installed and
  then installing with apt-get install xorg-server-lts-quantal
  libgl1-mesa-{glx,dri}-lts-quantal{,:i386}  for conflict resolution.

  However, halfway through it installs libglapi-mesa-lts-quantal:i386
  after removing libglapi-mesa for both archs, then proceeds to install
  libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-quantal for both archs, but because libglapi-mesa-
  lts-quantal:amd64 is not installed dpkg fails and you're stuck with a
  broken installation.
