Nope I never played with these packages so even I'm surprised! Is this
has something to do with multi-arch? Because I remember I had
ia32-libs-gtk installed previously for Skype and probably upgrading to
multi-arch and removal of ia32-libs might have left this cruft back (as
I removed skype recently). Again I'm not sure just guessing what might
have happened

Yes doing this now everything is fine upgrade happened and package
manager is in normal state. I guess we can close this bug now
