Package: ia32-apt-get
Version: 22
Severity: normal

When I try to install acroread, ia32-apt-get fails with a version
dependency error:

# ia32-apt-get -t unstable-i386 acroread
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  acroread: Depends: acroread-debian-files (>= 0.0.38) but 0.0.38~22 is to be 
installed
E: Broken packages

So ia32-apt-get (or really I guess, ia32-dpkg) thinks that version
0.0.38~22 doesn't meet the requirement of >= 0.0.38.  But that is the
correct version of acroread-debian-files for i386.

# ia32-apt-cache policy acroread{,-debian-files}
