[Bug 831768] Re: aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled

I haven’t tried the new resolver yet, but the display of :arch
qualifiers on foreign packages is a massive improvement.

It’s still missing in a few places though, like the “Provided by” line
for virtual packages:

$ aptitude show ia32-libs-multiarch
No current or candidate version found for ia32-libs-multiarch
Package: ia32-libs-multiarch
State: not a real package
Provided by: ia32-libs-multiarch

And packages are listed twice in Conflicts/Breaks/Replaces without :arch
qualifiers:

$ aptitude show wine1.4
…
Conflicts: wine1.0, wine1.0, wine1.4
Breaks: ttf-symbol-replacement, ttf-symbol-replacement,
        ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3, ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3,
        ttf-tahoma-replacement (< 1.3), ttf-tahoma-replacement (< 1.3), wine (<
        1.2.1), wine (< 1.2.1), wine1.2 (< 1.4-0ubuntu1), wine1.2 (<
        1.4-0ubuntu1), wine1.3 (< 1.4-0ubuntu1), wine1.3 (< 1.4-0ubuntu1)
Replaces: ttf-symbol-replacement, ttf-symbol-replacement,
          ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3, ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3,
          ttf-tahoma-replacement, ttf-tahoma-replacement, wine, wine, wine1.0,
          wine1.0, wine1.2, wine1.2, wine1.3, wine1.3

Same thing in the GUI:

i A  --\ wine1.4                         1.4-0ubuntu1   1.4-0ubuntu4  
…
  --\ Replaces (14)                                                   
    --- ttf-symbol-replacement
    --- ttf-symbol-replacement
    --- ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3
    --- ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3
    --- ttf-tahoma-replacement
    --- ttf-tahoma-replacement
    --\ wine
i    1.4-0ubuntu4
p    wine:i386 1.4-0ubuntu3
i A  wine1.4 1.4-0ubuntu1
p A  wine1.4 1.4-0ubuntu4
    --\ wine
i    wine 1.4-0ubuntu4
p    wine:i386 1.4-0ubuntu3
p    wine1.4:i386 1.4-0ubuntu3
    --- wine1.0
    --- wine1.0
    --- wine1.2
    --- wine1.2
    --- wine1.3
    --- wine1.3

Title:
  aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled

Status in aptitude:
  Fix Released
Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “aptitude” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged
Status in “aptitude” source package in Precise:
  Triaged
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  Invalid
Status in “aptitude” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  TEST CASE:
  1. Enable multiarch (should be automatic on new oneiric systems)
  2. Install an i386 package on amd64 (like flashplugin-installer:i386)
  3. Mark something with a lot of dependencies for installation
  4. On the confirmation screen, try to remove on of the dependencies (aptitude will now fail to perform upgrades when there's a package conflict w/out removing the i386 libs)

  This renders aptitude painful on a multiarch enabled system (default
  in oneiric).
