+Subject: [PATCH] smart:cache.py: getPackages() matches name + arch
+
+It only matched name ony in the past, for example:
+smart install busybox (matched)
+but:
+smart install busybox@core2_64 (didn't match)
+
+The installation is very slow when no match since it would seach all the
+packages in the repo
+This patch makes it match both.
+
