We need to kill also pseudo packages which have no dependency, no
installed reverse dependency and which also doesn't provide something.
They cause problems if this pseudo packages get new dependencies.
As a consequence we also need to recheck the dependencies of a killed
pseudo package (and especially the providers of these dependencies)
to really kill all non required packages.
Remove and Unpack operations should not be ignored for pseudo packages -
they should trigger the remove/unpack of the "all" package.
Otherwise - as this package has no dependencies - it will be triggered
to late. The Configuration step doesn't need it as the "all" package is
a dependency of the pseudo-package, so it will be configured before
the pseudo packages are tried: So at this step the ignorance is okay.
Also IsMissing() should report the status of the all package if an
pseudo package is checked instead of always reporting no-miss.
Fix the PkgFileIterator Constructor which defaults to the wrong value.
(0 instead of the HeaderP) This breaks the Cache Validation functionality
as the end() doesn't test for NULL.
(The fault was introduced with the rewriting of the CacheIterators)
Enable the AutoRemover to talk "Multi-Arch" by marking all pseudo
packages in a group if one is marked.
The auto-installed flag is from now on Architecture bound:
A section without an architecture tag will be treated as applying
to all architectures - the next write operation will take care of
this by creating separate sections for the architectures.

- add char[] fallback for filesystems without shared writable
mmap() like JFFS2. Thanks to Marius Vollmer for writing
and to Loïc Minier for pointing to the patch! (Closes: #314334)
move ShowPkg() from apt-get to the PkgIterator and rename it to FullName()
responseable for displaying a package name and the architecture in a
uniform way. Pretty option can be used to not append the architecture if
it is the native architecture or all - and use it all over the place in
the commandline tools.

will (maybe) added a little time later in the process.

[BREAK] merge MultiArch-ABI. We don't support MultiArch,
but we support the usage of the new ABI so libapt users
can start to prepare for MultiArch (Closes: #536029)
MultiArch isn't ready for Primetime usage for now, but the branch has
managed to be a NOP if used in SingleArch-mode so we can start to
promote the use of the new MultiArchable API-extensions.
In SingleArch environments we don't need the arch "all" pseudo package
for handling arch:all packages, so we create only one package and stop
calling it a pseudo package.
Add yet another pseudo package which isn't as pseudo as the others:
Arch all packages are now represented by arch depending packages which
all depend on a package with the same name and the special arch "all".
This packages has NO dependencies, but beside this the same information.
It is the only package which has a size, the arch depending ones all
have a zero size. While the arch depending pseudo packages are used
for dependency resolution the arch "all" package is used for downloading
and ordering of the package.
Arch() on a MultiArch:all version should return "all" to be compatible
with previous usecases. You now need to requested with Arch(true) the
return of the architecture this version (and pseudo package) was created for.
display the architecture of the package if it is not the default
architecture in apt-get, display policy for all available architectures
and use GrpIterator in apt-cache pkgnames
Pre-MultiArch a package which depends on a package with architecture "all"
can be sure that a package comeing in as a dependency of this package
will be of the same architecture as itself (or all). We don't want to break
this, so internal an arch all package is represented as many arch depending
packages. The only problem we have now is that we only know that a arch
all package is installed or not - we don't know for which architecture it
was installed: So we will look at all these broken arch all pseudo packages
and "remove" them.
