From 9244f712396c10b674740cc79fdab61c47173d04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julian Andres Klode Date: Thu, 9 May 2019 22:23:17 +0200 Subject: Introduce apt satisfy and apt-get satisfy Allow to satisfy dependency strings supplied on the command line, optionally prefixed with "Conflicts:" to satisfy them like Conflicts. Build profiles and architecture restriction lists, as used in build dependencies, are supported as well. Compared to build-dep, build-essential is not installed automatically, and installing of recommended packages follows the global default, which defaults to yes.
