[Bug 916467] Re: Double entries in apt_pkg.Cache.packages

[Julian Andres Klode]

No, they're not. There are just multiple packages having the same name,
but different architectures. For full name + architecture, use
get_fullname().

In the apt module, the name attribute includes architecture information
for non-native packages, in the lower level apt_pkg module, the bindings
are more direct and thus only include the name, not the architecture.
