OK, I have resolved the problem, and you can close this bug.

What I did was more aggressively install amd64 packages.  I'm afraid I
did this somewhat at random, but at least I can show you the final
configuration.  You will receive another mail from me sent with
reportbug, but I can't see where that shows which packages are amd64
and which are i386.  So that information is appended for this email.

Again, thank you for all your help!
