Bug Description
On 12.04 / x64, attempting to install dgen fails:
$ sudo apt-get -f install dgen
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dgen:i386 : Depends: unzip:i386 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
It seems to be attempting to force install of the i386 version of the unzip package, even if the amd64 version is already installed, and this fails. It shouldn't request a specific architecture for unzip, since presumably it only needs to run the CLI binary.
