[Bug 873970] [NEW] update from natty to oneric failed (amd64): E:Sub-process dpkg returned an error code (2)

[progmachine]

Public bug reported:

I think it becouse of "foreign-architecture i386" in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch
Even bug reporter crashed, until i removed that file, with message that dpkg do not know what is foreign-architecture.
The update-manager displayed "E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)" repeated many times, in one big window. That message also repeated many times in log file /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log
It's like a endless recursion happened.
