[Bug 1062503] [NEW] apt fails to install libglapi-mesa-lts-quantal correctly on switching x stacks

[Maarten Lankhorst]

Public bug reported:

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.
