Package: apt Followup-For: Bug #275379 Control: affects -1 + check-all-the-things I too would like to see a satisfy subcommand that could be run like this: apt satisfy 'python3, pyflakes3 | pyflakes (>= 0.7.3), pyflakes3 | pyflakes (<< 1.1.0-1)' The reason I want this is so that I can make check-all-the-things run apt for checks that have missing commands and get the right packages installed no matter what the distribution it is being run on. $ check-all-the-things --install apt --checks pyflakes3 sudo apt satisfy 'python3, pyflakes3 | pyflakes (>= 0.7.3), pyflakes3 | pyflakes (<< 1.1.0-1)' Right now there are workarounds that can be used for this being missing: * create a debian/control file containing a single Build-Depends line (apt > 1.2.2) * create a full Debian binary package containing the right Depends * Use python-apt to do the resolution and emit `apt install pkg=1.2.3` commands? The first two are easy but I'm not sure about the last one. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
