[Bug 1306123] [NEW] Cannot install boost i386 development packages alongside the x86_64 ones.

[Vertago1]

Public bug reported:

In ubuntu 13.10 I was able to have both the x84_64 boost and i386 boost
installed at the same time. I need this because I am compiling some code
for a 32bit vm but I also want to be able to run tests on the host
machine.

I have installed libboost-all-dev for x86_64 on ubuntu 14.04, and when I try to install libboost-regex-dev:i386 apt-get wants to remove:
