[Bug 1335614] [NEW] apt doesn't handle bar build-deps properly

[Chow Loong Jin]

Public bug reported:

When running "sudo apt-get build-deps banshee" on Ubuntu trusty, this happens:
E: Failed to satisfy Build-Depends dependency for banshee: Installed package libgpod-cil-dev is too new

Banshee's build-deps containing libgpod-cil-dev are:
libgpod-cil-dev (>= 0.8.2-7~), libgpod-cil-dev (<< 0.8.3-2) | libgpod-cil-dev (>= 0.8.3-4ubuntu3~)

and the libgpod-cil-dev version is: 0.8.3-4ubuntu3

The version should be satisfied in this, and in fact, aptitude build-dep
works correctly.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
