Package linux-image:amd64 is a virtual package provided by:

You should explicitly select one to install.

  linux-generic linux-image linux-image-3.13.0-18-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-18-generic linux-image-generic linux-image-generic-pae linux-image-server
The following NEW packages will be installed
  linux-image-3.13.0-18-generic:amd64
0 to upgrade, 1 to newly install, 7 to remove and 11 not to upgrade.
Need to get 14,9 MB of archives.
After this operation, 104 MB disk space will be freed.

That last operation looks wrong as apt seems to want to remove my 32-bit (??) kernel.
