I don't know what "reopen" means here, but if it uses pkgCacheFile it
should throw away the entry instance and create a new one. pkgCache,
depCache and all the others are using IDs to reference
packages/versions/descriptions/whatever which are not stable between
binary cache regenerations. If it doesn't it still has to throw away all
these stuff, but it should consider using it as its easier to reuse
instead of generating all the different caches "by hand".

At least, i don't see what could be a bug in APT here as python-apt gets
it right -- it is now able to even change the native architecture while
running in multi-arch context, so i am setting it back to incomplete…

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
