apt.package.Package.installed_files method has a multiarch bug

[Michael Schaller]

Hi everyone,

Trusty's version of python-apt (0.9.3.5) has a multiarch bug in the method apt.package.Package.installed_files.

The current source code is:
for name in self.shortname, self.fullname:

The correct source code would be:
for name in self.name, self.fullname:

The issue with the current code is that if I want to get the installed files of a package with foreign arch that I would most likely get the installed files of the package with the native arch.

Best,

Michael
