I thought the :i386 packages were part of the system for supporting 32 bit programs to run in 64-bit (though I had always though there was no problem doing so except for packages that used the kernel directly (like drivers). Anyway, that did not help. when I went to a console (i.e. ctrl-F2) and killed X it just dropped me to the login screen (which makes some sense). So I restarted and used the recovery console. Using that command to me the filesystem was ro so I went back to the recovery screen and chose the dpkg fix entry from the menu. That looked like it fixed things and did install the other 9 updates, but still complained about the i386 thing. Dropping to a root shell again (the FS was now rw), I tried again to dpkg -r .. to no avail. rebooting put me back in normally and the Update Manager now shows only libdrm-radeon1 needing update but it fails the same way. I'm going to hope the update itself caused the problem and maybe they will put out a fix this weekend. Thanks for your help!
