Bug#455980: anna: Complains dependency is not available even when already installed



Package: anna
Version: 1.28

During CD-based installations, for example when additional file system 
kernel modules are loaded for os-prober, the following messages will be 
logged:
anna-install: Installing ntfs-modules
anna[21921]: DEBUG: resolver (kernel-image-2.6.22-3-486-di): package doesn't 
exist (ignored)

Reason is that the udeb for kernel-image-2.6.22-3-486-di is not included on 
the CD (for space reasons).
Thus the udeb is _not_ listed in /var/cache/anna/Packages.default.

The fact that anna complains is still a bit strange as the udeb is of course 
already included in the initrd and is also listed in /var/lib/dpkg/status:
   Package: kernel-image-2.6.22-3-486-di
   Status: install ok unpacked
   Version: 1.57
   Provides: kernel-image, ext2-modules
   Description: Linux kernel binary image for the Debian installer

Note that the status is "unpacked" and not "installed".
I checked whether changing the status to installed in the dpkg status file 
made any difference, but it did not.

anna should probably check the status of a package before looking for it in 
the repository.
Possibly also some process (at D-I image build time?) should change the 
status of udebs from "unpacked" to "installed", but only for those that 
don't have a menu item (or don't have a postinst maybe?).
