Actual behaviour

LuCI Package Manager reports that "luci-app-firewall" depends on
"uci-firewall", which is shown as missing.

However, this dependency is NOT actually missing. It is a virtual
dependency provided by firewall4-any via APK PROVIDES mechanism.

• LuCI UI shows:
  "uci-firewall required but not available"

• This blocks or warns upgrade/install operations in web UI.

Expected behaviour

LuCI should resolve APK PROVIDES dependencies correctly, i.e.:

• "uci-firewall" is provided by "firewall4-any"
• dependency should be considered satisfied
• no error/warning should be shown

Steps to reproduce

1. If you already has luci-app-firewall installed, just go to http://router_ip/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/package-manager and try to update, for example, luci package.
