I followed this procedure to restore a previously exported list of packages in a new system. At the end of the procedure, after sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade -y I got this message:

[cut]lot of output, everything OK[cut]

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libsensors4_1%3a3.3.1-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
 /var/cache/apt/archives/gcc-4.4-base_4.4.7-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The full output is available on paste.ubuntu.com. /etc/sources.list content is also available here.

Then I typed again sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade -y. This is the error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libxslt1-dev:i386 : Depends: libxml2-dev:i386 (>= 2.6.26) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

And trying to sudo apt-get -f install:

The following extra packages will be installed:

Other people had similar problem and I tried to follow this answer, but without being able to solve. Can you help me?

It's a known bug, I'm afraid. libxml2-dev is marked as being multi-arch co-installable, but it actually isn't.

Uninstall it: apt-get remove libxml2-dev:i386
