Description

When trying to install pcsx2 using nala, the package is not found. However, it's available in the repositories for i386 architecture and can be found by apt.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run: sudo nala install pcsx2
  2. Result: Erro: pcsx2 não foi encontrado.
  3. Run: apt-cache policy pcsx2
  4. Result: Shows package is available as pcsx2:i386
  5. Run: sudo nala install pcsx2:i386
  6. Expected: Should work with explicit architecture

Expected Behavior

nala should find packages from enabled foreign architectures (like i386 on amd64 systems) even without explicitly specifying the architecture suffix, matching apt behavior.

System Information

  • OS: Debian 13 (Trixie) - version 13.3
  • Nala version: 0.16.0
  • APT version: 3.0.3 (amd64)
  • System architecture: amd64
  • Package architecture: i386

Additional Context

$ apt-cache policy pcsx2
pcsx2:i386:
  Instalado: (nenhum)
  Candidato: 1.6.0+dfsg-3
  Tabela de versão:
     1.6.0+dfsg-3 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie/main i386 Packages

$ nala show pcsx2
Erro: pcsx2 não foi encontrado.

The package exists in the i386 architecture but nala doesn't find it without the :i386 suffix, while apt handles this correctly.

Workaround

Specify the architecture explicitly: sudo nala install pcsx2:i386
