I am experiencing the exact same problem. I have repeated this over 10 times on two different machines with various hardware configurations in each.
You are most definitely replacing a i686 installation with i386 binaries. Don't do that. If you'd have up2date update your machine this wouldn't happen. If you do it yourself you better know what you do. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 88456 ***
