I meant the whole update process from the previous version
(downgrading to the old version, then updating again).

I suspect dpkg-maintscript-helper to not identify
/etc/init.d/libvirt-bin to be related part of libvirt-bin:amd64 and
therefore not being moved out of the way. I saw a similar error when
changing the libvirt-bin transitional package to arch all.

So this is multiarch using mostly i386 but some x86_64? Could you
attach "dpkg -l" as well?
