i did what someone else here suggested, and did individual `dpkg -i'
runs on the files in `/var/cache/apt/archives/partial'.  this makes it
easy:

    for i in *.FAILED; do dpkg -i $i && rm -f $i; done

i browsed of the debian-users and debian-devel list and found no other
mentions of the problem.  if i were to hazard a guess, i'd look for
recent changes in apt that had problems on different-endian systems
than i386's...
