[Bug 798478] [NEW] Partial upgrade spins for a long time in “Preparing to upgrade” before failing with multiarch

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

I've enabled i386 as a foreign architecture on my amd64 box by adding
“foreign-architecture i386” to /etc/dpkg/dpkg.conf and
APT::Architectures { "amd64"; "i386"; }; in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99multiarch.

I tried to upgrade using update-manager this morning (apt-get dist-
upgrade works fine), and the partial update is just sitting at
“Preparing to upgrade” with the progress bar flitting back and forth.
