Bug#774873: Circular dependency in java-headless packages

 

 I installed
openjdk-7-jre:i386 on an amd64 system and for some reason
openjdk-7-jre:amd64 has been pulled as well.

That's probably because of this dependency cycle: multiarch treats arch:all packages as the native architecture (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#Dependencies_involving_Architecture:_all_packages), i.e.

openjdk-7-jre:i386 -> ca-certificates-java:all <-> openjdk-7-jre:amd64
