[Bug 835625] Re: package libsasl2-2 2.1.24~rc1.dfsg1+cvs2011-05-23-4ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: libsasl2-2:i386 2.1.24~rc1.dfsg1+cvs2011-05-23-4ubuntu2 (Multi-Arch

[Steve Langasek]

This is an apt ordering bug.  The amd64 version of libsasl2-2 and
libsasl2-modules must be unpacked first before trying to unpack the i386
version.

>From the attachments to your bug report, it looks like this issue was
encountered because you have flashplugin-installer on your system, which
gets transitioned to an i386 package between alpha and beta, explaining
why new multiarch library packages are being pulled in.
