Julian Taylor (jtaylor) wrote : skip tests where a dependency limits architecture

now that we have armhf in the qa jenkins builds we now get failures due to uninstallable packages.
See https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Raring/view/AutoPkgTest/job/raring-adt-python-scipy-armhf/
Here openblas does not install because it does not exist for != x86,ppc

The most logical way to fix this is to properly support the dpkg dependency syntax including architecture qualifications.
Then autopkgtest can simply skip the tests where the used architecture is excluded in a dependency.
