Bug Description
aptitude currently did not mention that the packages it was about to remove were for the architecture "i386" (while my host architecture is amd64). This made it slightly worrying to see it propose the removal of the "libc6" package.
It would be nice if it could, like apt-get, mention the architecture of a package if it is foreign.

Wow, the removal of all those packages was supposed to happen? I just assumed that was a weird error. Besides wanting to remove libc6 and many other things, it looked like it was trying to have two different "qdbus" packages installed, both the same version. Rather than removing libc6, and other things that looked equally dangerous, I removed one of the "qdbus" packages. This had the effect of "aptitude install" not wanting to do anything, which I thought fixed it. However, this now seems wrong.
(1) If my set-up is indeed wrong, what can I do to bring it in-line with the expected packages?
(2) How can I verify that it's correct?
