tags 841527 + patch
thanks
Hello,
I tinkered with reportbug-ng a bit and it looks that this bug is caused by
dpkg-query returning error when multi-arch package is queried for and more
than one architecture of that package is installed.
Suggested patch attached.
In long term, it should be rewritten using python-apt or something.

Use 'dpkg-query --show' when listing versions
'dpkg-query --status' fails if package has versions from multiple
architectures are installed.
This fixes Debian bug #841527.
