Same in trusty, apturl will give 'Package XXX is virtual' message if trying to install a i386 package in amd64 host without specifying the :i386 suffix, and the other way around: trying to install a :i386 package in i386 host specifying the :i386 suffix
The things is that apt-get install does not have this behaviour. Trying to put a link to, for example, apt://acroread-bin, will not work either for i386 or for amd64 depending on weather the :i386 is specified or not, while apt-get install handles properly. I tried to update apturl with latest ubuntu versions (vivid, etc.) but it breaks too many dependencies, and anyhow it seems that the problem has not been tackled so far.
