I think I may have found a less intrusive workaround for this symptom. Instead of removing packages, first try the following commands:

$ dpkg --configure -a
$ apt-get install -f

The first command has failed for me at some point, because the libc6 packages were not in sync between i386 and amd64 architectures. The fix was to 'dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6*_i386.deb', and then re-running 'dpkg --configure -a'.
