I discovered something like this previously on one of my Mountain Lion
machines.  But I had no clue that 'depend_setting_platform' was
something that could go in the tlpdb.  By trial and error, I changed

  depend setting_available_architecture:universal_darwin x86_64-darwin

by simply deleting the 'univesal-darwin' part.

This made tlmgr only fetch 64's after the adjustment, but it still
thought that 'universal-darwin' was my real arch.  Probably that's what
'depend_setting_platform' would fix.
