aptitude install amd64-kernel

[Holger Levsen]

Hi Daniel, hi list,

should I file a bug against aptitude ? (I have not checked all the 115 normal 
bugs against aptitude...) IMHO this is serious, as it installs a non-working 
kernel (a amd64-kernel on i386), which renders the system unusable.

Is there a aptitude mailing-list or such ? Or only debian-devel or rather 
debian-dpkg ?

I just tested this on another system manually:
