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
