Title:
  Package is not available for this type of computer

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  I built a package myself, my PC is 32-bit (output of dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH is i386) and I built a package myself. It is called <package-name>-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
  This is the control file of the package:
  Source: wallch
  .....
  Build-Depends: qt4-qmake, libqt4-dev, debhelper (>=7)
  ....
  Architecture: any
  Depends: mpg321, imagemagick, libnotify-bin, ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
  Description: ...

  As you can see it says: Architecture: any (!)

  I have to say that lintian doesn't output any errors for my package
  (even with -i, -I options)

  So the main problem is: When I open my package with ubuntu software center happens something buggy:
  This is the first try:

  As you can see it says "is not available for this type of computer
  (i386). This is quite weird. I built the package in a PC with i386
  architecture and the control file says 'any architecture', and it says
  that is not available for the computer?

  So, I close ubuntu software center and reopened the same DEB and...:
  http://i52.tinypic.com/29eq9gm.png

  Error gone!

  Very strange! Since then, sometimes I get this error message but sometimes not. This bug had been noticed and a friend of mine as well.
  If you need the DEB package for information, please see: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/wallch

  Thanks :)
