multilib system is the only real black spot of apt, it just cannot

Either use something else (yum, update, smart, red carpet) or make
your system non-multilib. See also

rpm -qa --qf '%{arch} %{name}-%{version}-%{release}\n' \
  | grep -v gpg-pubkey \
  | sort -k2,2 | uniq -f1 -D \
  | grep ^i386 \
  | awk '{print $2 "." $1}' | tr '\n' ' ' \
  | xargs rpm --test -e
