It *seems* it has been fixed; but I don't know whether it has just
disappeared, or has been fixed by human intervention, and if yes by
which. Since the first may be true, it might as well reappear again.

How a bug in a maintainer script could have the result that installing
an arch-all package fails because an other arch-all package is not
there, and how this can happen on only one particular machine of one
particular architecture, this I fail to see.

No, it seems to work now. I have not indication that it has been
*corrected*, a word which to me implies that it has been dealt with by a
human being.
