[Bug 1205544] [NEW] qapt-deb-installer mishandles ':any' dependency architecture qualifiers

[Francois Gouget]

Public bug reported:

Here is how to reproduce this bug:
 * Download http://fgouget.free.fr/bugs/testdep.tar.bz2
   This is a small archive that contains a set of test, empty, Debian package files along with their source.
   (run ./build to rebuild them)

 * Install the testdep-allowed_1.0-1_amd64.deb package.

 * Then run: qapt-deb-installer testdep-allowed-any_1.0-1_i386.deb

qapt-deb-installer will then refuse to install the package with the
following message:

    Status: Error: Cannot satisfy dependencies

Yet testdep-allowed-any has 'testdep-allowed:any' as its sole dependency
so the installed amd64 multiarch=allowed testdep-allowed package should
satisfy it. Running dpkg confirms this:

$ sudo dpkg -i testdep-allowed-any_1.0-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously unselected package testdep-allowed-any.
(Reading database ... 214863 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking testdep-allowed-any (from testdep-allowed-any_1.0-1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up testdep-allowed-any (1.0-1) ...
