I installed some 32 bit packages on a 64 bit machine and it caused some problems.
- How do I replace all x86 packages with x64 ones?
- Can I at least check which packages are x86?

Retracted the close vote and comment; if it is about "some" packages purging and installing will be better. – Rinzwind Jun 08 '15 at 09:11

To check packages installed with an architecture:
dpkg-query -W -f='${Package}\t\t${Architecture}\n' | grep 'i386'
dpkg-query -W -f='${Package}\t\t${Architecture}\n' | grep 'amd64'
Use the line that is not your current architecture (in your case "i386") (and in case someone is unsure: you can check the architecture with uname -a (see How do I check if I have a 32-bit or a 64-bit OS? ))
If it is not a lot of them you could purge them and install the other version.
