Hi, dpkg recently added support for versioned provides \o/ We now want to test whether dose3 supports them correctly. We think that it *should* not be hard to do so because dose3 internally uses a cudf representation of Debian dependencies and cudf already understands versioned provides. Having a look at the test cases in the dpkg-tests git doesn't show any surprises with respect to how they should be interpreted but I think I remember Guillem saying that there was some unintuitive trickery to be resolved for this feature? For example when reading dpkg commit 5bb02fe I saw a comment which explains how versioned or unversioned dependencies should or should not be satisfied by versioned or unversioned provides (in lib/dpkg/depcon.c for function pkg_virtual_deppossi_satisfied) But I do not see these cases being tested for. Should I just use this comment to create some test cases for dose3 or are there some existing ones of dpkg that I'm missing? I suppose the comment is still an accurate description how it should work? Thanks! cheers, josch
