Weird failure with a non-existent profile in a kiwi description

[dcermak]

Issue Description

I have tried to build a bunch of images from a single kiwi file leveraging profiles. Unfortunately, I've made a tiny mistake and left a non-existent profile, which resulted in an unhelpful no imagetype set for this architecture/profile error message.

The image description is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

and requires the following _multibuild:

<multibuild>
    <flavor>libvirt_sles</flavor>
    <flavor>libvirt_sled</flavor>
    <flavor>libvirt_aarch64_sles</flavor>
    <flavor>virtualbox_sles</flavor>
    <flavor>virtualbox_sled</flavor>
</multibuild>

This fails for aarch64 with no imagetype set for this architecture/profile. The culprit is this line:

<preferences profiles="libvirt_aarch64">

it should be actually:

<preferences profiles="libvirt_aarch64_sles">

My guess is that there is something odd in OBS when it parses the kiwi description, as the build can be tricked into actually starting by changing this line:

        <profile name="libvirt_aarch64_sles" description="Vagrant Box for SLES for libvirt on aarch64" arch="aarch64"/>

to:

        <profile name="libvirt_aarch64_sles" description="Vagrant Box for SLES for libvirt on aarch64" arch="aarch64">
           <requires profile="libvirt_aarch64"/>
         </profile>

The build will then actually start for aarch64 and not fail with no imagetype set for this architecture/profile but instead with a kiwi error message, because the profile libvirt_aarch64 does not exist.

Note, if you have access to build.suse.de, then you can check out project: https://build.suse.de/package/show/home:dancermak:SLE-12-SP3/kiwi-images-vagrant

Expected Result

OBS should have started the build for aarch64 with the buggy xml description and let kiwi produce an error message that the "libvirt_aarch64" profile does not exist.

How to Reproduce

1. Go to https://build.suse.de/package/show/home:dancermak:SLE-12-SP3/kiwi-images-vagrant
2. Checkout revision 1
3. Run the build on aarch64
4. See the error produced by the build
