[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#505747: need to be sensitive to versioned packages that conflict with Provides

Version: 0.57.5-1

Hello,

When handling version-checks for package installation, sbuild skips
any packages that are listed in Provides, even if the Build-Dep is
versioned.

For example, when building (on Ubuntu) libmail-box-perl will fail
due to mismatched versions (perl-modules Provides "libtest-harness-perl",
but libmail-box-perl requires version >= 3).  To handle this case,
the follow patch makes an attempt at package installation when it finds
a "PROVIDED" package.

Thanks,

-Kees
