[Bug 1605849] [NEW] libkmod2-dev:i386 fails to install on ubuntu 16.04 x64

[Shashank Chintalagiri]

Public bug reported:

Installing libkmod2-dev:i386 fails when the 64-bit version is also
installed. See below. The 'partially installed' package is because of a
previous aptitude install command which included many other packages
which first showed the error.


$ sudo aptitude install libudev-dev:i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libkmod2:i386{a} 
The following partially installed packages will be configured:

0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/45.9 kB of archives. After unpacking 136 kB will be used.
