I managed to make the transition, just to see if it could be done, but it wasn't easy and I wouldn't suggest it unless you just want to tackle it for education purposes. Don't know a way to force apt-get (or it's front ends) to download and install stuff of a different architecture than you have installed, but dpkg can be told to do it with a -force option "architecture [!] Process even packages with wrong architecture" dpkg --force-architecture *.deb : things will break along the way that need fixing, and I did have a clean 64 bit installation on another partition that I started with a minimal net-install installation so I could apt-get stuff and have the packages to install in the installation I was making the transition on and also so I could compare things and chroot the installation I was making the transition in when things broke.
