Well... there's your answer :-) I suspect that the packages were not
ready at the time you tried. Similar to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-en/+bug/514329.
When you are running an alpha version of Ubuntu it is not unusual to get
1 part of a build before the other part has been completed/available.
It's always good to check the source page (Overview) and check to see
which builds have completed. Example:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/language-pack-en-base/+builds

Other packages w/64bit:
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/xserver-xorg-video-r128/+builds>

Sometimes the i386 will have been completed, but the amd64bit is still
building, etc. So, point is that you'll need to keep your eye on the
build status when updating on the alpha series.
