@Kees,

as the package changelog shows it has been multi-arched, why does the upgrade log show '(Multi-Arch: no)"? Confusing :)

Changed in libcap2 (Ubuntu):
assignee: nobody → Kees Cook (kees)

This would have been an apt bug; it never should have been trying to install libcap2-bin:i386 when the amd64 version was already installed.

affects: libcap2 (Ubuntu) → apt (Ubuntu)
