If everything else works, you could try to remove sc:i386 via
packagesearch with apt-get and aptitude.  Doing this with apt-get
requires the package name to be architecture qualified for foreign arch
packages if they are also available on the native arch (since an
needless arch suffix does not cause any harm, checking the availability
on the native arch would be a waste of time).  I have no idea how
aptitude handles arch qualified packagenames, but I assume that it does
not complain if arch suffixes are added even if they are not needed.
