[Bug 940837] [NEW] apt-cache fails to filter PreDepends

[Hernando Torque]

Public bug reported:

apt-cache fails to filter out PreDepends when using either

apt-cache --no-pre-depends $package

or

apt-cache -o APT::Cache::ShowPreDepends=0 $package

It works fine for Depends, Recommends, Suggests, Conflicts, Breaks,
Replaces, Enhances, so this looks like a bug in apt to me.
