Comment (by jdreed):
OK, I really think something more than "aptitude is bad at multi-arch" is
going on here. We've already established LP:974504 is an actual bug. The
other issue (gettext and gettext:i386 conflicting) is wine's fault. I
think something is wrong with Wine, too, because "aptitude install
wine1.4-amd64" wants to pull in a bunch of i386 packages. And, oh, hey,
look: LP:954029 and LP:975967
I'd rather not rewrite the install to workaround upstream bugs, and would
rather pull wine and libcv-dev (or reduce it to libopencv-core-dev) until
upstream fixes this. "aptitude -R" is very much not what we want, because
it skips _all_ recommendations. What I want is "aptitude --skip-
recommendations-if-they-break-things", but that doesn't exist.
