rewrite the pseudo package reinstaller to be more intelligent

in his package choices

The previous implementation tried to install the package for arch A and
if this fails B, C and so on. This results in wrong architecture choices
for packages which depend on other pseudo packages, so he will now try
to install the dependencies first before trying the package itself and
only if this fails he tries the next architecture.
