I don't use 32 bit architecture, so I wonder what message the OP would
get, assumed the install wouldn't be a 64 bit architecture install.
Would the message mention that the package doesn't fit to the installed
architecture instead of mentioning the conflict with an existing
package?

IOW assumed the kernel would be 32 bit architecture and the install
would only provide 32 bit architecture dependencies instead of a 64
bit architecture kernel with multi-arch dependencies, would this be
noticeable by the error message/warning?
