[Bug 859188] Re: can't apt-get install --reinstall when foreign-arch version is present (E: Internal Error, No file name for libgl1-mesa-glx)

[Eugene Crosser]

Does this bug have anything in common with Bug #863675? The recent fix
for the latter did not fix this one, but it seems as if they could be
related..

Bug description:
  Hi, I wanted to reinstall  libgl1-mesa-glx because I cannot run KDE4.7.1 and synaptic and also apt-get using konsole gives me this:
  "E: Internal Error, No file name for libgl1-mesa-glx"
  It seems the package is not avaliable, right?
  Thanks
