Hello

I'm trying to create a package nwnxee that depends on package
nwnee-dedicated.

But both versions must be the same. If nwnxee is installed as version
8193.37.15+deb12u2~git18cffdba, then nwnee-dedicated must be
8193.37.15-xyz, where xyz can be any number. It can not be
8193.37.14-xyz nor 8193.37.16-xyz.

And then, same goes for 8193.37.16 which must match with 8193.37.16 but
not 8193.37.15.

If I write nwnxee depends as `nwnee-dedicated (>= 8193.37.15),
nwnee-dedicated (<8193.37.16)`, then I get a deprecated warning for
nwnee-dedicated for using <

If you are just asking about the required syntax, I think what you are looking
for is << (just < is not a valid syntax for this field).

I guess the << works. Thanks!

What's the proper way to ensure that nwnxee version is always the same
major.minor.patch nwnee-dedicated ?

Are the produced from the same or different source tarballs?


Different tarballs.
