Title:
  Fails to identify valid dependency due to apt.conf (Default-Release
  option)

Status in “python-apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Hi mvo,

  I rebuilt latest beagle debian package with a trivial patch and tried to install that using gdebi 0.1.4. It returned:
  (...)
  Dependency not found: libgnomevfs2-0

  The machine has a valid candidate (2.12.2-5), since beagle depends on
  libgnomevfs2-0 (>= 2.12.0):

  $ apt-cache show libgnomevfs2-0|grep -i Version:
  Version: 2.12.2-5
  Version: 2.10.1-5

  FYI that machine is running Debian testing as Default-Release
  (apt.conf you know) and there are both testing and sid repositories
  listed in sources.list.

  I'm not sure how the code reached the _satisfyOrGroup thing to print out "dependency not found", there is no | in depends field, see:
  $ dpkg --info /var/cache/pbuilder/result/beagle_0.2.1-stratus1_i386.deb |grep -i depends.*\|
  $ apt-cache show libgnomevfs2-0|grep -i depends.*\|

  Thanks,
  Gustavo Franco
