[Bug 2007311] Re: apt-check python script doesn't catch issues before outputting bad data

[Renan Rodrigo]

Interesting that this got fixed: the thing is that because the esm-cache
was changing the global configuration, any further calls to the cache
would have missed packages that do exist.

The version which contains this new commit was already uploaded to all
LTS+lunar, and now sits unapproved waiting for a SRU person to pick it.
Soon it should be in xbfj-updates.
