libqt4-gui is not multi-arch: same and apt-get does not support
installing on both amd64 and i386:

# apt-get -s install libqt4-gui:i386 libqt4-gui:amd64

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libqt4-gui:amd64 : Conflicts: libqt4-gui but 4:4.8.2-2 is to be installed
 libqt4-gui : Conflicts: libqt4-gui:amd64 but 4:4.8.2-2 is to be installed

Do you instead mean the libraries depended on by libqt4-gui
(libqt4-designer, -opengl, -svg, libqtgui4)?

You should remove that when testing the problem resolver.
