The preinst script for ia32-libs_1.4 is:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
if [ "$1" = "install" ]; then
dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/ldd.ia32-libs --quiet --rename --package
ia32-libs --add /usr/bin/ldd
fi
if [ "$1" = "upgrade" ]; then
dpkg-divert --quiet --remove /usr/bin/ldd.amd64
dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/ldd.ia32-libs --quiet --rename --package
ia32-libs --add /usr/bin/ldd
fi
It sounds like you had a previous version of ia32-libs installed, which was
then removed before again trying to install ia32-libs_1.4.
Since 1.4 is the first "stable" version of ia32-libs on amd64, however, this
doesn't count as a release-critical bug. The workaround for you would be to
run the dpkg-divert command manually.
The fix for the package would be to check for $2 being set, instead of
checking for "$1" = "upgrade".
