Enabling the backports repository seems to be even worse as aptitude now
wants to remove all sorts of things. Here is what I get:

$ sudo aptitude install libgtkhtml-4.0-0:i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
at-spi2-core{a} glib-networking:i386{a} libaspell15:i386{ab} libatk-bridge2.0-0:i386{a} libatspi2.0-0:i386{a}

Abort.


That is quite a lot longer list than before enabling the backports main
repository.
