Thanks for your help. I was able to force a downgrade to wheezy and
install the package.
I did not mention that I have a "mixed system" because I was not aware
that there is such a thing. Off-hand, I probably would not even have
remembered installing packages from testing. I am not contesting the
user error, but I don't really see the problem here. Why should
installing an i386 package break an amd64 package? Why do they have to
have the same version? That seems like an arbitary restriction to me.
Furthermore, a more helpful error message from apt-get would probably
have prevented this bug report.
Regards
Michael
