So we need to know which libcom-err2 and libcom-err2t64 packages are installed for which architectures on your system. If there is any libcom-err2t64, please "upgrade" to libcom-err2. Then retry your
original apt. I fear this is going to be manual in unstable as there is
no sane way to make apt understand that we really don't need
libco-err2t64. I expect that upgrades from bookworm and trixie are
unaffected by this issue. Unless this expectation is wrong, I suggest
that we close this bug as wontfix.

We can't upgrade from version 1.47.0-2.3+b1 to 1.47.0-2.4

This is the bumpy unstable state that should never migrate to trixie.

upgrading libcom-err2 to 1.47.0-2.4 remove all i386 packages

Consider guiding apt by asking it to install both libcom-err2:amd64 and libcom-err2:i386.

I agree that the experience is a little messed up, but this is
resolvable with apt and it only affects unstable users. Do you agree
with closing this bug with no action?
