aptitude fails on installing wine1.4 with strange gettext errors

Hello,

I'm normally using aptitude to install packages but in this case it failed to install wine/wine1.4 with strange error messages around gettext dependencies and a lot of internal errors:

 gettext-base : Conflicts: gettext-base:i386 but 0.18.1.1-5ubuntu3 is to be installed.
 gettext-base:i386 : Conflicts: gettext-base but 0.18.1.1-5ubuntu3 is installed.
 gettext : Conflicts: gettext:i386 but 0.18.1.1-5ubuntu3 is to be installed.
 gettext:i386 : Conflicts: gettext but 0.18.1.1-5ubuntu3 is installed.
open: 142; closed: 734; defer: 39; conflict: 49 .Internal error: the solver Install(grub-common:i386 1.99-21ubuntu3.4 <grub2-common:amd64 1.99-21ubuntu3.4 -> {grub-common:amd64 1.99-21ubuntu3.4 grub-common:i386 1.99-21ubuntu3.4}>) of a supposedly unresolved dependency is already installed in step 961
[...]

According to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1989283, I'm not the only one having the issue and apt-get or synaptics (my solution in this case) don't show this error.

Thanks for fixing,
Eric
