I don't know what a Barton core is. I'm running i386 and amd64 on two different boxes (with an i386 chroot too) and didn't have a problem. Right now, you should have the new cpio unpacked and therefore the new binaries will be used. You could look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/cpio* The related scripts seem to be setting up update-alternatives. Try running the scripts manually and track the problem. Unfortunatly, since cpio is required, you can't just easily remove it and then install it.
