Gbp-Dch: ignore
|

Expecting the worst is easy to code, but has its disadvantages e.g.
by creating package structures which otherwise would have never
existed. By creating the provides instead at the time a package
structure is added we are well prepared for the introduction of partial
architectures, massive amounts of M-A:foreign (and :allowed) and co as
far as provides are concerned at least. We have something relatively
similar for dependencies already.
Many tests are added for both M-A states and the code cleaned to
properly support implicit provides for foreign architectures and
architectures we 'just' happen to parse.

On single-arch the parsing was creating groupnames like 'apt:amd64' even
through it should be 'apt' and a package in it belonging to architecture
amd64. The result for foreign architectures was as expected: The
dependency isn't satisfiable, but for native architecture it means the
wrong package (ala apt:amd64:amd64) is linked so this is also not
satisfiable, which is very much not expected.
No longer excluding single-arch from this codepath allows the generation
of the correct links, which still link to non-exisiting packages for
foreign dependencies, but natives link to the expected native package
just as if no architecture was given.
For negative arch-specific dependencies ala Conflicts this matter was
worse as apt will believe there isn't a Conflict to resolve, tricking it
into calculating a solution dpkg will refuse.
Architecture specific positive dependencies are rare in jessie – the
only one in amd64 main is foreign –, negative dependencies do not even
exist. Neither class has a native specimen, so no package in jessie is
effected by this bug, but it might be interesting for stretch upgrades.
This also means the regression potential is very low.

We use test{success,failure} now all over the place in the framework, so
its only consequencial to do this in the situations in which we test for
a specific output as well.

- ignore foreign architectures if we check if a provides has only one
resolver as it's basically the same for the user, so no need to choose
|
|
- prefer native providers over foreigns even if the chain is foreign
The code preferred real over virtual packages and based on priorities.
This is changed in so far that a real package from any arch is preferred
over any virtual provider and if priorities doesn't help in choosing the
best provider we choose it based on architectures
