From 40faab46c4d5fa766c80090f0fdb54120dbb37f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Kalnischkies Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2014 16:33:46 +0200 Subject: support versioned provides as implemented by dpkg APT supported versioned provides for a long while in an attempt to get it working with rpm. While this support is old, we can be relatively sure that it works as versioned provides are used internally to make Multi-Arch:foreign work. Previous versions of apt will print a warning indicating that the versioned provides is ignored, so that something which "Provides: foo (= 2)" doesn't provide anything. Note that dpkg does allow only a equals-relation in the provides line as anything else is deemed too complex. apt doesn't support anything else either and such a support would require potentially big changes.
