The problem is that python-apt assumes a specific filename for info files:
http://anonscm.debian.org/loggerhead/apt/python-apt/debian-sid/annotate/head:/apt/package.py#L1048
This changed with multi-arch as e.g. libraries will have the architecture
attached to its name rather than the name alone as filename. So python-apt
needs to look for both filename-styles until we found a better way to find
the filename …
Shouldn't be too hard to write a patch for it, but I don't really grok python,
so feel free to go ahead and write one!
Best regards
