Could you post the output from
Code:
dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

Why it searched for binary-i386/Packages
Might be an issue with your distro. Some derivatives (including ubuntu and ubuntu-based) use split repos for different achitectures. If so, set the default with APT::Architecture=amd64 and/or add [arch=amd64,i386] behind deb in your sources.list for multiarch (if needed).

Edit: also see: https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO

Although this will not 'solve' the issue you are having, in termianl run
uname -r

and see what it prints out.

If you do not see amd64 then there is a deeper issue.
