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-foreign_1.0-1_amd64.deb package.
* Then run:
qapt-deb-installer testdep-foreign-detault_1.0-1_i386.deb
qapt-deb-installer will refuse to install that package, claiming that:
Status: Error: Cannot satisfy dependencies
Yet testdep-foreign-default has 'testdep-foreign' as its sole
dependency. Given that the 'testdep-foreign' package is a
multiarch=foreign package it can satisfy dependencies for all
architectures and thus should satisfy the testdep-foreign-default
dependency. Running dpkg confirms this:
$ sudo dpkg -i testdep-foreign-default_1.0-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously unselected package testdep-foreign-default.
(Reading database ... 214865 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking testdep-foreign-default (from testdep-foreign-default_1.0-1_i386.deb)
...
Setting up testdep-foreign-default (1.0-1) ...
