I did some code archeology to try to find out an explanation of why dpkg would have dropped that field. And I found it: http://bugs.debian.org/228253 It got "fixed" by this commit: commit 2ef42b027e4267432a41343e28f102b1dae668d2 Author: Scott James Remnant <key...@debian.org> Date: Mon Mar 8 18:37:36 2004 +0000 Prior to this, the architecture field was not stored at all in the status file (in fact it was explicitly dropped by the parsedb function). The change is very old, not many users will be affected by this. Guillem, what do you think? Should we silence the warning due to this? Sven, in the mean time I suggest you do "aptitude purge ~c" to clean up all those packages and you will get rid of those warnings (but you'll loose the configuration files for those old uninstalled packages).
