thanks for the quick answer.

I'm using an apt-proxy installation as a mirror, and installing
manually, where pointing to this same mirror, works like a charm. I'm
thus not convinced about the brokenness of my mirror.

Looking at dpkg's man page suggests that I may need to pass
'--force-architecture' to it, but I don't yet see a place where to do
it.

I tried to use FAI 3.2.20 on a Lenny/amd64 box to install a Lenny/i386
box.


Kind regards,
