dpkg error when installing packages

Hey everyone,
just did a fresh install of Trisquel and when I installed XFCE I got lots of these errors (also when installing other packages):
dpkg: warning: ignoring option --foreign-architecture=@MULTIARCH@: must start with an alphanumeric
Google gave me no relevant hits on this one and it is probably harmless because the packages were installed and XFCE is working fine.
Also during installation of the OS using the graphical install the mirror that was selected automatically (I didn't get an option to choose a repository) was offline and the installation would stop saying it was done. So I restarted into a broken system. Using the text installer everything went fine. Could this be considered a bug? Because linux noobs like myself are dependent on noob friendly installers like the graphical installation method.

"dpkg: warning: ignoring option --foreign-architecture=@MULTIARCH@: must start with an alphanumeric"
Just remove /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch or move it to .../multiarch.backup .
Since you write you are a "linux noob" (by the way, you certainly mean "GNU/Linux noob": https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html), here is the actual command to remove the file:
$ sudo rm /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch
It is to be executed from a "terminal".

Yeah, sounds like a pretty nasty bug. That multiarch weirdness sounds like a minor bug.
