What dpkg actually does is extract the contents of the packages, then
call dpkg --unpack, and finally call dpkg --configure.  So the
maintainer scripts should be run with all the normal arguments.

Title:
  Wubi installed 12.10 amd64 without configuring i386

Status in Wubi, Windows Ubuntu Installer:
  New
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “ia32-libs” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  See report at
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/1016294/comments/36>.

  User could not install ia32-libs-multiarch on a fresh amd64 install of
  12.10 using Wubi, due to i386 not being configured as a foreign
  architecture.

  [Workaround]

  $ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
  $ sudo apt-get update
