This bug was opened against openjdk-6 but describes the update-manager
end of the bug because someone blindsided me with "that's a multiarch
bug". If you are going to fix the update-manager end, should I change
the affected project on this bug to update-manager and then file a new
bug against openjdk-6 that specifically addresses the inability to
simultaneously install 32 bit and 64 bit?

It seems to me that were it not for the multiarch bug here, update-
manager would have quietly installed that i386 package and I wouldn't
have seen it - but other than that the two problems are completely
unrelated.

Title:
  update-manager wants to install openjdk-6-jre:i386

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I have a 64 bit system upgraded from oneiric. Every time I run update
  manager it says that two "new installs" are available:

  openjdk-6-jre-headless:i386
  openjdk-6-jre:i386

  If I allow it to attempt installing these packages, dpkg crashes with:

  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-6-jre-headless_6b24~pre4-1ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack):
   conffile './etc/java-6-openjdk/security/java.policy' is not in sync with other instances of the same package
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

  (full log also attached attached)

  After this has happened apt is in a broken state. sudo apt-get -f
  install will not fix it, as it just tries again and fails to install
  the openjdk-6-jre:i386 package. It is necessary to go to a terminal
  and run "apt-get -f purge  icedtea-6-jre-cacao:i386 icedtea-6-jre-
  jamvm:i386" before any further package tasks can be performed.

  If I run "apt-get dist-upgrade" then it tells me there are no updates.
  Only update-manager is trying to install those i386 packages.

  I have tried purging everything java related from the system, 32 bit
  or 64 bit, but those two "updates" just won't go away.
